Redbridge Rambler was third behind Saturday’s Grade 2 winner Lookaway at Uttoxeter in May but has got nowhere near that form in three subsequent outings. February’s Catterick winner Lifetime Legend has also become disappointing but FIRST QUEST was only headed on the run-in back over hurdles at Fontwell and can hang on here racing off the same mark. Iolaos Du Mou found only one too good here in May and again at Fontwell earlier this month and the bumper winner is getting closer to a first victory over hurdles.
