Some Drama put a poor spell of jumping behind him when reverting to hurdles and running well in staying handicaps. He should have got his confidence back and can go well under his big weight. Templemichael has yet to reach a place under Rules which is why he's on such a lowly mark but I'M AN IZ WIZZ has been given a chance to gain his second victory over fences. A winner at Downpatrick in June, he had no chance in a much better handicap over this course and distance last time when a long way out of the handicap but he wasn't disgraced and reverts to his correct grade. Ballygrooby Bertie has been well beaten in his trips to the UK so William Du Berlais looks a bigger threat as he hasn't been beaten far in his latest starts including here last month.
