Fakenham maiden hurdle winner who has run well on both starts since under his penalty. Very much sets the standard in this contest and should again go close on ground that suits.
Well beaten in two runs at Doncaster in January (2m5f/2m3½f) on soft ground and very little encouragement to be had from those efforts. Again looks best watched on this occasion.
Is putting together a consistent season over hurdles. Came closest to winning when 1L third in a Uttoxeter novices' maiden hurdle in December (2m7½f, heavy) and put in a similar effort last time. Drop in trip around here may not be stiff enough.
Wasn't seen between making the frame on debut in a Ffos Las bumper (heavy) in 2016 and making an encouraging reappearance/stable debut over hurdles at Southwell (2m4½f, soft) last time. Could improve and market check is suggested.
Hasn't passed the post on many occasions in races between the flags and is 0-7 in that sphere. Not easy to see her making an impact on her rules/stable debut.
Has been sent off at 40/1 in both bumpers so far and shown very little for punters to latch on to. Tongue strap now fitted for rules debut, but this Flat-bred mare looks one to take a watching brief about.
Forecasts
Rio Quinto (5/6), Florrie Knox (11/8), Hurricane Dylan (15/2), Lady Of The Rea (50/1), Coisa Blanco (100/1), Russiantom (100/1)
Olly Murphy looks to have found a good opportunity for RIO QUINTO to get back to winning ways after too good performances under his penalty and he is taken to score. Florrie Knox looks to be his biggest danger on paper, though this shorter trip is a bit of a concern and Hurricane Dylan could get more closely involved over this longer trip and looks next best.
