The market could give us some clues here, with it looking a competitive little heat, with little to choose between TAKE IT THERE, Its A Classic and Heezagrey, but we'll side with the first named. She's got to give weight away all round, and plenty of it, but Robert Lucey Butler claims three pounds. The step up in trip last time out suited, and she looks like she can go a little bit further as is the case here. Its A Classic made a decent comeback at Plumpton after two years off the track, before refusing at the last next time out when Paul Blockley's last runner. She's making her debut for Roger Curtis. Heezagrey is among the least exposed, but was a decent third at Ludlow last time out when there was some cut in the ground, and he's entitled to continue his improvement. There are positives and negatives about all of them, but we think the pros outweigh the cons with Take It There.
