On these terms ROZNIC is hard to oppose in this lady riders' selling hurdle while Bolton Hall needs respecting and Misbehaviour is also liked at the weights. There have been signs that the selection's mark has crept a little high when in handicap company so handler Tim Vaughan has stepped him down into this grade for the first time. He is the highest rated in the field so seems well in at the weights and with his recent runs suggesting he is still in from he should take all the beating. Bolton Hall has plenty to find on these terms but was in good form before pulling up on his last start in this sphere and some indifferent runs on the level. His handicap form should be enough to be the nearest challenger. Misbehaviour is weighted competitively based on his official rating so can¿t be ruled out and Samurai Warrior will relish these conditions and has been running well on the level this summer. If the ratings are correct here then Roznic should be the one to be with.
