Verdict
INSTANT DE BONHEUR disappointed last time though an earlier second at Worcester is the best form over fences on offer in a weak contest. Treasure Dillon has yet to figure over the larger obstacles but was winning off a higher mark over hurdles at Chepstow at this time last year while The Knot Is Tied should be sharper for a recent chasing bow at Huntingdon. Maiden hurdle winner Urabamba may prove best of the rest.
