Top call from Charlie - looks a really pregressive sort! Original quote: "Fire Tree - A good winner last time out at Wetherby and a 7lb rise for that 3 length win looks fair. Apprentice race here though and Paddy claims a handy 5lbs so we are only 2lbs higher than that last win anyway.…

Landed the each-way money at 10/1. Original quote: "Sellingallthetime - Recent winner Beach Break looks a big danger, but we head here off the back of three decent runs so if the remaining 8 stand their ground then look to have a fair each-way chance. Back into a Class 4 helps and down a pound…
