Quest surges to Plate glory
Winning jockey George Baker celebrates with Quest For More after victory in the John Smith's Northumberland Plate
Quest For More was an authoritative winner of the John Smith's Northumberland Plate at Newcastle for Roger Charlton and George Baker.
The five-year-old was among the leading contenders for the two-mile feature following a recent victory at Goodwood and Baker had the 15/2 second-favourite well positioned from the start, racing in midfield against the rail.
He remained full of running passing the three-furlong marker and quickened nicely through a tight gap to give himself every chance a furlong out.
Willie Mullins' Max Dynamite came from the clouds to try and mount a challenge as the line loomed, but Quest For More was well on top as he passed the post a length and a quarter to the good.
Max Dynamite was second, ahead of Nearly Caught in third, with last year's one-two Angel Gabrial and Suegioo close up in fourth and fifth respectively. Favourite Seamour came sixth.
