QUANTUM QUEST shaped with plenty of promise in a big-field Naas maiden hurdle on his Rules debut last month and, with improvement on the cards, he looks the way to go. Fishery Lane also made an encouraging start in this sphere when third at this course and he is next on the list ahead of Along The Way and Grimaud.
