'That was clearly a good run in a strong race' - Graeme Rodway with his best bet

Quest For Life
1.05 Ayr
1pt win at 9-1 generally

This nine-year-old won twice at the start of the year and is now only 3lb higher than when landing a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Musselburgh on soft ground in January. He is faced with similar conditions here.

Quest For Life struggled off marks in the 120s on his next three starts over obstacles, but he bounced back to form off this rating at Wetherby last month when beaten less than five lengths behind subsequent winner Earlofthecotswolds. That form was given further substance when One Night In Milan, who was a place behind my selection on that occasion, went on to finish second at Musselburgh this month.
