Another race where the talent doesn't run deep and it could well be that positive tactics on Flying Eagle will be used again but he can be a quirky individual and no two races come alike to him. I'm An Izz Wizz looks a strong traveller in his races but a 10lb higher mark will test his mettle and it may well be that BEAU BAY can make a winning chase debut getting weight from all bar one of his rivals. His trainer does well with his limited runners here and he's not badly weighted on his hurdles form. We'll probably see another flatter to deceive performance from Dr Moloney while the handicapper looks to have a grip on No Such Number now.
