Certain Justice is taken to follow up on his recent Leicester win at the expense of Rezzago and Torquemada. The selection beat Imperial Gain that day by a short head and is only running of a mark of one pound higher so has not been battered by the handicapper. If repeating that run he has to go close. Rezzago has a chance on the back of his recent second behind Irony at Kempton. The form has since been franked with Irony winning again at Chepstow last week so the form has stood well. Torquemada won on the all weather at Lingfield before being out classed at Newmarket last time out. He is better judged on his previous outing so has to be short-listed. But for the winner we return to Certain Justice.
