Verdict

NIGHTFLYER has had the form of his Uttoxeter win boosted by the second scoring at Kelso on Sunday and is the percentage call, although strong support for Irish point recruit Port Glen One would put a slightly different slant on things.

2	Fair bumper winner who has improved with each start over hurdles, making it third time lucky in a maiden at Uttoxeter (2½m, good) 23 days ago. Had a next-time-out winner behind in second on that occasion and looks sure to make a bold bid to defy a penalty. 1st Pick 2 Nightflyer (Ger) Jockey: Richie Mclernon Trainer: Jonjo & A.J.

3	Made a winning debut in the Irish pointing field in May and interesting hurdle debutant with the Twiston-Davies stable going well. 2nd Pick 3 Port Glen One (Ire) Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	0	-	-	-	67%

1	Useful handicapper on Flat for Andrew Balding. Not as good over hurdles but he did get off the mark in a 19.5f handicap at Bangor (good) last month. Below par in a big-field handicap at Worcester since, though. 3rd Pick 1 Who's Glen (Fr) Jockey: Theo Gillard Trainer: Donald Mccain J: Theo Gillard T: Donald Mccain	97	-	-	-	34%
