Formscan  - Upfordebate failed to complete the hat-trick when pulled up at Hexham last month, but it wouldn't be the biggest surprise if he could bounce back. Even so, SKYHILL looks the way to go. Alison Hamilton's veteran is a three-time course winner, including in this race back in 2019. He performs well fresh and can make a successful return to action off a workable rating. Ballylinch is another to watch out for.
