Rio Quinto, placed in point-to-points, made his debut under Rules in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham so must be held in some regard. Olly Murphy also runs No Alarm and Craigmor but the latter has only beaten one home in two runs over hurdles. No Hiding Place didn’t show much at Huntingdon but is probably capable of better and Fontwell third Dakkar Collonges is improving with experience. WILLIAM HUNTER was far from disgraced in a hot contest last time at Ascot having just come up short at Plumpton earlier. A three times winner on the Flat, this looks a good opportunity to get his head in front over timber.
