Forecasts

I'm An Izz Wizz (6/4), Presenting Julio (10/3), James (4/1), Cerca Trova (9/2), Ardmillan (13/2), Merrion Row (8/1), Willow Grange (8/1), House Limit (12/1)

Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for I’M AN IZZ WIZZ to gain compensation for his unlucky defeat at Punchestown two starts ago, when the bob of the heads didn’t go in his favour. He didn’t do as well over 3m last time and this looks to be his trip. Cerca Trova can get involved if translating her improved hurdles form back over fences, and James is getting fitter with each run and might be able to pick up some place money.
