        Verdict

        Deciding Moment has won twice over fences but not for two years and he hasn't raced over hurdles since 2013. He's unlikely to have the pace to cope with BOY IN A BENTLEY, who certainly deserves a change of luck having finished second in all four races to date under Rules. Remember Forever has hinted at ability, as has Glengra, while Instingtive is surely better than he showed at Wincanton last month.
