Verdict

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.

  1. SADDLERS QUEST
  2. CAITLIN'S COURT (IRE)
  3. VISION OF HOPE
