Not much strength in depth and this looks another good opportunity for Just Wiz to boost his trainer's fine record at the track. Nick Littmoden's charge has been a model of consistency in useful handicap company and took full advantage of a drop to this grade when scoring comfortably over course and distance earlier in the month. A repeat should suffice on these favourable terms. Arpeggio was a narrow handicap winner (off a mark of 65) at Southwell earlier this month but, along with hat-trick seeking Littlemissattitude, has plenty to find with the selection at the weights so Hoh's Back may prove a bigger danger. Sylvester Kirk's consistent colt goes well here and can reverse recent form with Littlemissattitude on the revised terms.
