Verdict
Course and distance winner It's Definite can give the in form Peter Bowen another success, Dantes Venture and Knowhere appear to be the main dangers. The selection's victory came in august when making all, he was clear approaching the second last, and after being eased on the run in won by four lengths from Wainak. There could be plenty more in the locker and he looks a good thing to follow up. Dantes Venture was a fortunate winner last time when Everready came down at the last when well clear. Nevertheless he was easily second best and and should put up a decent fight today under Tony McCoy. Knowhere is making his racecourse debut, he is six years of age, but does hail from a top yard and should be watched closely in the market. It's Definite though won with plenty in hand last time and looks set to run up a sequence.
