      Verdict

      RIO QUINTO followed up a very easy maiden victory over 2m4f at Fakenham by just failing to concede 13lb to the winner over an extended 2m7f on a return visit and should get back to winning ways. Victarion had shown promise in bumpers and though well beaten on his hurdling debut at Ludlow should do better with that under his belt. Drovers Lane, Louse Talk and Royal Tara are all winners between the flags and the latter also landed a hunter-chase at Tipperary in May so could prove best of the trio.
