Fergal O’Brien’s stable can do little wrong at present and I’m Wiser Now, placed in five of his six career starts to date, makes his handicap debut at a modest level. Nifty At Fifty has started favourite in all four of his races this term but still hasn’t managed a victory, though maybe a drop back in distance will help. Fellow maiden Kauto The King is having a first run since May but MICK MANHATTAN has got back on track this season. Despite racing freely in the early stages, he was keeping on last month at Chepstow and he’s only had four runs over hurdles. Everlanes would have a chance on last season’s form but hasn’t raced since the end of January. Roccowithlove also has an absence to overcome.
