Quito De La Roque (FRA) (2004) - 9 b g

One of the top staying novice chasers from the 2010-2011 jumps season, he only met defeat once, when second to Bostons Angel at Leopardtown. He slammed his rivals when winning his first Grade 1 at the Punchestown festival and added another Grade 1 with victory over Sizing Europe in the JNWine.com Champion Chase at Down Royal. He was beaten into third in the Lexus but his trainer felt he was below par that day, and he he’ll surely have a big chance in the Hennessy. Victory there would lead to a Gold Cup big.
