10/1
Enjoyed a productive spell last summer, including a C&D win. Respectable 7½ lengths fourth of 8 to Vision of Hope in handicap at Market Rasen (16.5f, good) in June, finding little. Has had wind surgery since.

Barely modest form when runner-up in maiden/novice events here in recent months. Opening handicap mark not obviously generous but she is unexposed.

9/1
Improved effort over hurdles when returning from 5 months off to win over 18.5f here in May. Further 3-month absence since no concern and she should remain very competitive after just a 2 lb rise.

Placed in points. Modest form in 3 maiden/novice hurdles but she's from a leading yard and could take a step forward now handicapping. Market support significant.

Fair maiden on the Flat up to 7f for Andrew Oliver. Runner-up 3 times over hurdles for Charlie Longsdon but ended her time with that yard on a low note at Worcester last month. New stable has been among the winners.

Modest maiden but last month's Worcester third shows she can be competitive from her mark. Need to forgive a lesser run on the Flat since.

AW Flat winner who has thrived over hurdles this summer, winning handicaps at Huntingdon and Market Rasen. Good second at Worcester last month and probably worth giving her the benefit of the doubt for a lesser run last time.

Poor form in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles in 2021. Did finally notch a Flat win later that year but recent Flat exploits nothing to write home about. Handicap debut in this sphere.

Long-standing maiden. Did fare a bit better when fourth on her recent stable debut but others are preferred for win purposes again.

Belatedly off the mark when seeing off 8 rivals at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month. Came clear with the second so a 6 lb higher mark may not stop her if in similar form.

Worcester fourth in June was quite encouraging but her subsequent run back there was disappointing. Still low mileage but she needs to get back on track.

Point winner. Yet to better poor form over hurdles but she has shaped better than the result in a couple of her recent starts.

Gained breakthrough success in a novice claimer at Ludlow in November for Alastair Ralph. Best run for current stable when third of 8 at Stratford (18.5f) last month. Claims if she can build on that.

Saddlers Quest (3/1), Isabella Bee (7/2), Vision Of Hope (11/2), Coastal Sun (6/1), Caitlin's Court (9/1), Karannelle (10/1), Ryder's Rock (11/1), Energy Two (11/1), Citizen Jane (20/1), Three Macks (33/1), Pepsiwithacap (50/1), Ocean Reach (50/1), Grinn (80/1)

15:00 Newton Abbot - 22 August 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Although the fact it took SADDLERS QUEST 14 attempts to win over hurdles doesn't mark her down as an obvious one to go back to back, the first 2 came well clear of the third and she could still be well treated off 6 lb higher. Fellow last-time-out scorer Caitlin's Court is second choice ahead of Vision of Hope. Fergal O'Brien handicap newcomer Isabella Bee is one to monitor closely in the betting.
