Quantico⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: A Watson| D

10/11

Promising sort who was well backed and knew what was required to make a winning debut in 7-runner novice event at Chelmsford (1m) on debut in August. Gelded since and he's one to consider with improvement expected.

Form: 1

7/4

Anjaal colt who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Southwell (7f) in February and built on that when runner-up to King of Time at Lingfield (1m) later that month. Absent since but he's a lead player nevertheless.

Forecasts

Quantico (10/11), Borgi (7/4), Irish Approach (8/1), Auld Toon Loon (20/1), Testing Times (20/1), Heretic (28/1), Triple M (28/1), Christy's Star (200/1)

QUANTICO was well found in the market and had little fuss getting off the mark on debut at Chelmsford (1m) back in August. Gelded subsequently, he promises to do better again and just about shades the vote over the returning Borgi, who has been absent since losing little caste in defeat behind a Godolphin in-mate back in February. Irish Approach may emerge best of the others.
