SILVER FLYER is bred to be a useful hurdler and has already tasted success between the flags so he gets the vote to make a successful Rules debut. Midnight Centurion's second at Uttoxeter on his penultimate outing is strong form and he's worth another chance to build on it back over conventional hurdles, while Where's Hector can't be ignored upped to a trip that should suit.
