Richard Fahey let someone else have a turn at winning this last year, as he'd won it three years in a row before that, but it could prove business as usual with QUEST FOR SUCCESS today. He arrives on the back of a win at Ayr, won off a higher mark over C&D in September and Paul Hanagan prefers him to stablemates Irish Heartbeat and Brave Prospector. Unusually for him, Dandy Nicholls' only runs two in this, but both Tajneed and Evens And Odds have solid claims on their best form, while Everymanforhimself is also capable at this level. In contrast, recent winners We Have A Dream, Ginger Ted and Roker Park all need to improve if they're to win in this grade.
