Surrey Quest out to enhance reputation at Warwick
Progressive Henderson five-year-old impressed in Doncaster victory.
Surrey Quest takes a big leap from novice class to Grade Two company as he seeks to take his perfect record over timber to three in the Ballymore Leamington Novices’ Hurdle at Warwick on Saturday. The lightly-raced five-year-old, trained by Nicky Henderson and owned by Surrey Racing, followed up his first success at Leicester in November with a display full of promise at Doncaster last month, despite still showing signs of greenness. Connections are quite bullish about his chances – but are fully aware of the task he faces at such an early stage of his career. “It’s a massive step up in class so it’s hard to know what to expect of him. I know he’s been backed – I’m not entirely sure why – but it looks to me as there are quite a few unexposed types all with a chance,” said Clive Hadingham, co-founder of Surrey Racing with Steve Grubb.We can’t wait for our 1st runners of 2022 on Saturday with Surrey Quest going for a Grade 2 on @itvracing @olibellracing @WarwickRaces @sevenbarrows @AidanColeman and Surrey Princess 30 mins later @LingfieldPark @GBakerRacing @trevor_whelan3 – you know we like a double 😉🍾🍾🤞 pic.twitter.com/gkY7R93W0w
