Verdict

Misbehaviour, although not the most consistent horse, should still prove too good for this modest opposition. A winner at Taunton earlier in the season he has lost his way slightly since then but ran a reasonable race last time out at Hereford and looks the pick of the field at these weights. Magical Day won a maiden hurdle two starts ago but disappointed next time out at this track and may find it hard giving weight to the selection despite having proved himself on this ground. Money for hurdle debutante Mythical Charm would be interesting and he has a reasonable level of form on the level. Ressource has shown some ability over this course and distance but needs to show improvement to figure.
