Local trainer Liam Lennon landed his second winner in two days at Downpatrick when heavily-backed I'm An Izz Whizz delivered in the extended two mile three handicap chase.
JJ Slevin guided the nine-year-old gelding into the lead and the pair kept on best up the hill to repel 6/1 shot Tb Broke Her by a length.
The winner was returned at 9/2 backed down from 15/2. Solar Heat (12/1) came in third a further three parts of a length away.
Owner John Turner said: "Two times ago we ran him in Fairyhouse and he burst. No disrespect to Fairyhouse but it was very over-watered. We ran him back here at the last meeting and he just wasn't over it. We got him blood tested after and his heart checked and everything was wrong.
"He's a top of the ground horse and today suited him and we had a fair idea he was spot on. We weren't 100 per cent sure if it wouldn't be a bit sharp for him over two miles three. He's a dual point-to-point winner over three miles.
"JJ (Slevin) gave him a right ride and Liam (Lennon) told him exactly where he wanted to be. He had to be bang there as he doesn't find off the bridle. He will keep battling though, he's a very brave horse. If one had got to his quarters he would have found a bit.
"He will run again while the ground is good. As soon as the weather turns he'll come home again.
"The dam (Lovely Native) won here as well and we have her. We sent her to Len Lungo in Scotland and won there as well. She's a nicely-bred mare. I trained her myself and made a mess of her!"
Lennon's Bell Of The Ball won a handicap hurdle yesterday in Downpatrick.
