Toby Lawes dreams of Aintree after Surrey Quest’s narrow Scottish National defeat

The seven-year-old horse won the Mandarin Chase at Newbury in December and then came close to winning at Ayr. Trainer Lawes expressed happiness with the performance and revealed that targeting such races had been part of their plan for some time. They are pleased with the horse’s potential and hope to aim for prestigious races like the Grand National and the Scottish National in the future. The trainer emphasized the importance of aiming for high-level races if the horse has the capability to compete in them.
