Bal de Nuit gets all the allowances here and provided he gets a clear round, he should be capable of beating Be My Destiny. Paul Nicholls' representative ran up against a useful type in Lord Sam last time out and with him in receipt of the four-year-old's weight allowance - he only has to run up to form to score here. Mark Pitman's team are in form and while Be My Destiny is a useful type - his better form seems to be on softer. Mister Putt was unfancied on chasing debut at Plumpton and only made it to the third before coming to grief. Ex-pointer Mister Pearly was a 50/1 chance in a National Hunt Flat race and is hastily put over the larger obstacles. Bal de Nuit looks the bet albeit at cramped odds.
