        Verdict

        Di's Dilemma is up against some unknown quantities here and so is a tentative choice to beat Border Artist and Night Sight. The selection made a very pleasing seasonal return when chasing home Garw Valley at Huntingdon. Last season's efforts were also full of promise and she doesn't look overburdened for today's event. Night Sight has been given top-weight after just one outing over timber in a listed event. However he has been in very good form on the flat and could be a live danger in this weak event. Border Artist has been well beaten in three hurdles to date but gets in here on a low mark and could go close for this top yard. Honey's Gift can be given a chance on some of last season's form , but in a race where bets should be kept to a minimum Di's Dilemma is given the vote.
