Has experience of this C&D but needs to improve on his latest effort. Rain would help but his proven liking for Wexford may not be enough to see him home on this occasion.

This trip stretches him and as his form has hit the buffers of late it's hard to see him stopping the rot on recent evidence.

4/1
Fifth of six finishers in a Galway Plate trial latest but, given that he was 20lb wrong at the weights, that was a fair effort; but he is better judged by his smooth effort to win at Down Patrick last month. The gelding would be dangerous to rule out back in this more realistic company.

Age: 9|  Weight: 11-6| J: A Ring| T: J R Barry| OR:  103
4/1
Bits of form suggest he can pay his way this season but he is running out of chances and its quite possible that he may be better off over hurdles these days.

3/1
Stays this trip well but interesting to note that he's never actually won beyond the minimum trip over hurdles. Still a maiden in this sphere, he has a bit to prove and looks a risky option for win only purposes despite holding fair claims against a modest bunch of rivals.

6/1
Run here six times but is yet to get his head in front. Has a bit to prove with Patsio from their recent encounter over C&D and hard to see the form being reversed on these unfavourable terms.

25/1
Still a maiden over fences and has plenty to prove after a string of low-key efforts this season. Best left to his own devices for the time being.

9/2
Introduced to fences late last year but has so far proved to be of average ability and makes very limited appeal for a punt in his present form. May also need a stronger test of stamina.

Forecasts

William Du Berlais (3/1), I'm An Izz Wizz (4/1), Patsio (4/1), Templemichael (9/2), Burning Issues (6/1), Crosshue Boy (11/1), Some Drama (12/1), Little Stevie (16/1), Ballygrooby Bertie (25/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken that I'M AN IZZ WIZZ can maintain his good run of form and gain further reward for his consistency. William Du Berlais looks the main danger and will rarely get a better chance to rid himself of the maiden tag over fences, so has to be respected; whereas Some Drama can hold his own at this level on his day and is a sporting option to creep into the frame at a fair price.
