Quito looks all set for National service

COLM Murphy’s dual Grade Two winner Quito De La Roque is poised to run in the four-mile National Hunt Chase rather than the RSA Chase.

The seven-year-old has only been beaten once over fences, and that was by Bostons Angel in the Grade One Fort Leney Novice Chase.

He is one of a number of leading chances for Michael O’Leary’s Gigginstown House Stud at the Cheltenham Festival next week.
