Now This Is It is probably a few pounds too high at present but should be worth following this summer. Quito Du Tresor was second off today's mark over 2m here in April but was beaten 11 lengths, though is still preferred to stablemate Degas Art. Ultimate and PREMIER SAGAS would have a chance on their best form and we'll take a chance on Nicky Richards' charge as he probably found 3m too far around Kelso last time. Hawaii Klass won over course and distance last month, though is taking on better opposition now and Current Event may find this ground fast enough.
