Roznic has obvious claims in the finale by virtue of having shown some form but it may be worth chancing one of Nanosecond, Desert Star or DANGER ZONE with the last named nominated. Roznic has only had a couple of starts for Tim Vaughan and has successfully competed from higher marks in the past. Market confidence behind him here would look significant. Desert Star hasn't been asked too many questions during his short career over hurdles and may improve gradually with experience and for the switch to handicapping. Nanosecond clearly has some jumping issues to resolve but may prove competitive once doing so. The selection was a dual winner on the level but has yet to threaten to get his head in front over hurdles; he's only had five starts though and this is his first crack at handicap company and it may be worth taking a chance that Danger Zone can emerge as top gun.
