Won races for Paul Nicholls and Will Biddick and his last success was in a hunter chase at Wincanton (3m1f, heavy) last January; that form puts him in the picture and he made a respectable stable debut when third at Exeter (3m, good to soft) last month; possibilities.

Put poor reappearance run behind him when signing off for Paul Nicholls with fair third in Wincanton hunter chase (2m4f, good to soft; behind Gateau De Miel) last month; will be fine over this longer trip and has each-way claims if in similar form for new yard; cheekpieces removed after one use.

Point winner (3m, good) in January 2023 who was off for two years before finishing second of five in an open hunter chase at Wincanton (3m1f, heavy; 40-1); could take some catching if again positively ridden over this shorter trip.

Form & Verdict
Beaten 11l by Mr Glass in a point before coming on to win this race 12 months ago on good to soft; will need to run better than he did after a break in his latest point but he goes on heavy ground and has to rate a player; the cheekpieces are new.

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.
