Muroor and I'm An Izz Wizz had a real battle over 2m3f here last month with the former just prevailing. He ran well again at Galway though this could prove too far and the runner-up looks to have every chance of turning the tables. GLOBAL RACING (NAP) has been in excellent form over hurdles having gone up 20lb since his last run over fences. It looks the logical step to have another go over the bigger obstacles and he'll be difficult to beat. Persian Wind was in the process of running a big race at Galway but is on a very long losing run while Ballybrowney Jack was beaten when refusing on the latter track last week.
