Form & Verdict
Unsuited by a drop to 2m4f three starts back but four wins either side of that, including the only open level success in this line up at Trebudannon latest (3m4f, soft); 0-3 return on good ground versus 4-8 on softer becomes a concern if no rain, but stays well and case is strong.

Quintins Man

J: Mr Darren Andrews

T: J Heard

An 18-1 winner of a 3m1f hunter chase on this card 12 months ago; returned here in March on the back of good runs but reportedly found the ground too testing when pulled up, as was Premier Magic; a greater concern would be his subsequent defeat on good at Flete Park; certainly a player if bringing his 'A' game.
