Verdict
After a second easy win within six days at Ludlow on Wednesday, few will want to oppose PORTWAY FLYER. His penalty is unlikely to be an obstacle in this grade. Pass Muster also carries extra and is upped in class after scoring at Musselburgh but he's travelled a long way for this. Pagham Belle was second at Chepstow two runs ago but it's difficult to make a case for many of the others on recent form.
