HAPPY QUEST IN AYR FEATURE

WILLIE MULLINS has his sights set on retaining the British trainers’ championship after his dazzling haul at Aintree and fields multiple runners in today’s most lucrative races at Ayr, where £501,000 in prize money is up for grabs.

- 

Mullins is unleashing six runners in the Coral Scottish Grand National with Macdermott, the narrow winner 12 months ago, among his team.

However, | think SURREY QUEST (3.35), the runner-up 12 months ago, has unfinished business in the race and represents the value.

Toby Lawes’ gelding has been a revelation over marathon trips and, despite creeping up the weights, still looks like he is progressing.

His jumping on his past two starts has betrayed him a little, but | believe the return to this track will make the difference.
