More Quito news!

QUITO AMONG LONG LIST OF AYR POSSIBLES
By Thomas Deane, PA Sport Staff
(Sporting Life)

David Chapman's tough and consistent Quito heads the list of 100 horses still engaged in Saturday's totesport Ayr Gold Cup at the five-day confirmation stage.

Quito has enjoyed a profitable campaign and finished a close second to Reverence in the Sprint Cup at Haydock recently, but he will need to defy a handicap mark of 112 if he is to repeat his 2003 success in the famous handicap.

The Robin Bastiman-trained Borderlescott and Ian Semple's Appalachian Trail are two interesting possibles to have stood their ground and the pair find themselves towards the head of the ante-post markets.

The former has not been seen since lifting the Stewards' Cup at Glorious Goodwood, while the latter created a favourable impression when landing a Newmarket Listed race on his first attempt over six furlongs last month.

Other notable confirmations include Excusez Moi, impressive winner of the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon, and John Quinn's recent Knavesmire scorer Fantasy Believer.

A final field of 28 will go to post for the showpiece event, with those balloted out eligible for the Silver Cup the previous day.

Kevin Ryan looks sure to be well represented in the feature as he is responsible for 11 confirmations, five of which find themselves in the current top 28.

Spearheading those five is the consistent Mutamared, runner-up in the Stewards' Cup.
