Verdict

Izzy's Champion returned after wind surgery to gain a convincing victory over 2m4f here last month, though he's 7lb higher for this slightly better class race. Out For Justice has suffered in the weights after completing a double last summer but DEFINITE WISDOM made a very encouraging chasing debut over this trip at Wetherby and has only been raised 1lb so gets the nod. Imperial Prince had been in very poor form before staying on over 2m5f on heavy ground at Ayr.
