Mister Wiseman has won off higher marks in the past so there's no reason why he won't go close to completing the hat-trick, even though he's shown his best on easier going. Back on a fast surface, SUBLIME TALENT was much improved at Worcester last time. He's well treated nowadays and could be the answer to this ahead of the consistent Academy General. Hollow Penny would have a chance on his second at Worcester two runs ago but turned in a shocker at Market Rasen next time and Mister Matt looks to be on a downward curve.
