Verdict
With a nice run over hurdles under his belt QUITO DU TRESOR is taken to rediscover the winners' enclosure. Lucinda Russell's gelding is up to a lifetime high mark of 125 but he has conditions to suit and he has carried big weights well in the past. The front-runner Marodima is normally too keen for his own good but he ran well at Fontwell last time and is still on a winning mark despite a 4lb rise, whilst Mam Ratagan didn't get off the mark until his 15th start but has since made it two from three and Heather Main's gelding is not easy to ignore. Mibleu is slowly edging down the weights, Kikos is certainly well-treated and the yard are in good nick, whilst Blast The Past completes the line-up. A course and distance winner, she has ground conditions to suit but does need to bounce back from two below-par performances.
