Quintillus¹⁶²

3/1

Promising sort. One win from 2 runs last year. Won 10-runner minor event (8/11) at Kempton (7f), plenty in hand. Off 162 days. Likely to improve and should play a part.

Forecasts

Fundamental (5/4), Quintillus (3/1), Duty Of Care (6/1), Moraaheq (7/1), Oo De Lally (14/1), Qaader (16/1), Decisive Edge (50/1)

FUNDAMENTAL won well here back in October and the Guineas entry should have more to come up in trip. Quintillus is another likely improver after winning last autumn and should be a serious threat. Duty of Care would be dangerous to rule out too.
