John Quinn will choose between the Guinness Galway Hurdle and the Old Newton Cup as the next race for Kings Quay following his game victory at Market Rasen.
The five-year-old was cut to 12-1 from 20-1 for the race at Galway on August 2 after he took the totescoop6 Summer Hurdle by a short head.
However, the Malton trainer has yet to commit Kings Quay to the valuable two-mile handicap hurdle and he is also considering the Old Newton Cup on the Flat at Haydock on August 11 for his versatile gelding.
That mile-and-a-half handicap is usually held in early July but the meeting was abandoned through waterlogging and the racecourse executive are keen to save the race.
“We’ll have a think. He’s in at Galway and we are considering it,” said Quinn.
“If he doesn’t go to Galway he’ll run in the Old Newton Cup.”
