Quest for Success, Misphire and Glasshoughton are the ones to look at here with QUEST FOR SUCCESS set to score. Misphire won at Warwick three outings ago and has been well beaten since. He is three pounds higher than his winning mark and may need to drop down the weights before winning again. Glasshoughton is now three pounds lower than the mark he won off 14 months ago and he showed distinct signs of a return to form at Newcastle last time. He handles testing ground-it was heavy when he last won-and must go well. Doncaster winner Quest for Success looks much less exposed and he ran well at Catterick last time in a follow up attempt, looking short of room at a crucial stage. Quest for Success can return to winning ways here.
