It's A Discovery gets the call over Destiny Hill, and Saddlers' Supreme. It's A Discovery absolutely bolted up in a mares' only bumper at Carlisle recently, and this ex-pointer looks all set to make her presence felt in the finale, as not many make much appeal. Destiny Hill has form on the track and that will stand her in good stead, but she is worth taking on at present, while Saddlers' Supreme is quite well-bred for the game but will need time. Of the remainder, Kopylova might eventually make up into a decent chaser, but really, this looks there for the taking for It's A Discovery under Graham Lee.
