Acclamatio is perfectly capable of winning a handicap off this mark though hasn't run since August. No Trouble's two victories have been at Dundalk but he gave notice of an imminent success when third at Tipperary. Secret Wizard has managed to win five races and made a promising start for new connections at Navan but the maiden Whyzzat takes a big step-up from 7f. CU ROI was making his handicap debut when staying on nicely over 1m1f at Gowran and from the same mark with more to come looks the one to beat.
