SADDLER'S Quest can show that horses do come back from serious injury by winning the John Porter Stakes at Newbury tomorrow.

He burst onto the Classic scene with victory in the Lingfield Derby Trial last May but suffered a stress fracture of a cannon-bone and was denied his chance in both the Premier Classic at Epsom and the Rothmans Royals St Leger.

Thankfully he appears to have made a full recovery and has delighted trainer Gerard Butler in the build-up to his racecourse return.

Not only has Saddler's Quest amassed few miles on the clock but he is unbeaten in three races.

His last victory may have been workmanlike rather than impressive in out-pointing Going Global by a head but there looked to be more improvement to come.

He can confirm that impression in this Group Three contest that has been moved forward 24 hours from its traditional Saturday date at the two-day fixture.

It may pay to look elsewhere for nap material and Goggles fits the bill in the Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Rated Stakes.

The Eagle Eyed colt, trained by Henry Candy, can defy top weight in this mile handicap on the strength of his win in the £200,000 St Leger Yearling Stakes at Doncaster last September.

The runner-up, Reel Buddy, did not let the form down when third to Clearing at Newmarket on Wednesday.

Twelve months ago the Peter Smith Memorial Maiden Stakes was won by Millenary who went on to lift the St Leger.

This year's renewal could again shed some light on the final Classic at Doncaster in September with Colorado Falls, one of four Henry Cecil, looking the pick.

Len Lungo is a dab hand at placing his younger horses and Ebinzayd can repay the Carrutherstown trainer by landing his fourth success of the season in the James Barr Novices' Hurdle at Ayr.

The five-year-old has won two weak races at Kelso and Musselburgh which will have done his confidence a world of good in preparation for this better contest.
