Got up on the line for the Sherwood camp and was also a stable 1-3 in the race! Original quote: "Jersey - Bean ran well in his only race to date, finishing a close second to a nice type at Warwick. He hit the front two furlongs out and when Leighton smacked him down the…

Another top winner on the day for Gary. Original quote: "Benatar - Another nice horse that returns after a break. Ran well in some hot races over hurdles last season and rounded-off with a great 4th to Finian's Oscar at Aintree. Has done plenty of schooling for his and won't mind the rain. Competitive Saturday…

Nice winner for the in-form Moore camp. Original quote: "Dell Oro - Top two in the market might be hard to topple, but a nice horse that did well last season. Has improved over the summer and been schooling well ahead of this. Hoping for a good season ahead and should not be far away."

Nice each-way call from Tim. Original quote: "Bells Of Ailsworth - Fit and well after a break so heads here with a fair each-way chance. This is probably his level now, but the left-handed galloping track will suit and we expect him to be thereabouts."

Solid each-way call from Mark. Original quote: "Big Lachie - Competitive race, but we head here with place claims. Ran well to be 4th of 11 at Kempton just 10 days ago and gets in here off the same mark. First run at Newcastle, but no reason why it won't suit and hoping the drop…

Much better from Tim's horse - lands the e/w money too. Original quote: "Bleu Et Noir - Been running over a lot shorter trips of late, but the return to 1m2f here is a plus. Winning hurdler that is lightly-raced on the flat, but last run was a lot more encouraging when 7th of 14…

Only failed by a head to topple the Nicholls runner. Original quote: "Rasasee - Blew away the cobwebs last time at Fontwell - has come on bundles for that run and this looks easier. Conditions are fine and will love the quicker ground. A nice horse that will be winning races this season. Looks to…

Another solid run from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Break The Silence - In cracking form at present and broke his duck last time after 14 runs at Brighton. Before that has been running consistently - up 3lbs here for that last win but that look fair and no reason why he can't make another bold…

Nice effort at 16/1 from Harry's horse. Original quote: "Flight Of Fantasy - We might all be playing for places with Charlie's horse in red-hot form. The return to the AW for our horse is a plus though - three runs and been 2nd twice and 3rd once. Well at home and hopeful the first-time…

Got the job done by an easy 4 1/2 lengths. Original quote: "Captain Navarre - Ran well in a better race at York last time out. Drop in class will suit and a visor should sharpen him up and a proven course winner here. Hopeful of a good run."

An easy win for Gary's horse. Original quote: "I have been pleased with POMPEY CHIMES and it looks as though we could have strong claims in this race tonight after recent pleasing performances. First time on polytack and experience of night racing but POMPEY CHIMES seems to handle new surroundings well so I am hoping…

Looks a horse to follow for the Sherwood team. Original quote: "Enjoy Responsibly - He had last season off due to injury and even though he has done plenty of work at home he is a gassy type who may be a bit keen after such a lay off so he will definitely improve for…

Solid run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Euxton Lane - He's a lovely big horse who we had in training last year but was still on the weak side. He has summered well and is very much a chaser in the making, today will be very much a look and learn and I'm hopeful of…

Not much chance with the winner, but a nice prospect for Charlie. Original quote: "Escalator - Is a very nice 2 year-old who we like a lot. I thought he made a lovely debut here a couple of weeks ago and should go close today."

Ran on well and will be winning races again soon based on this. Original quote: "Fairway To Heaven - Ran well last time and was probably a shade unlucky with the gaps not coming at the right time. Adam Kirby a big plus in the saddle and draw 7 is fine. Looks a bad race…

Another solid run from Mick's consistent horse. Original quote: "Epitaph - Solid performer that was second last time out at Nottingham. Returns to the AW here, but has run well at the track in the past. Not the best draw in 12, so will need a bit of luck in-running from there, but is well…

A much improved run from Tim's runner. Original quote: "Ronnie Lawson: Tongue-tie applied here and hopeful it will help as had a breathing op recently. Former winning pointer that is better than what he's shown for us to date. Lightly-raced for an 8 year-old so there should be more to come. Looking well-handicapped though and…

A much better run from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Matts Legacy - Yet to sparkle on the track, but is dropped in grade here and is also 3lbs lower than last time. Has come on for last run at Newton Abbot, but got a bit tired in the closing stages so this drop back in…

Another good run from the Tim Vaughan team. Original quote: "Looksnowtlikebrian - A nice horse. Won well here this time last year, but failed to build on that - albeit in better races. Is 14lbs higher than that victory here last year too so more needed, but this significant step up in trip is expected…

Ran on well to land the each-way money. Original quote: "Boots And Spurs - Has had a really good season. This is his 25th run of the year if you include winning the Magnolia Cup at Goodwood. He takes his racing very well and came out of his last run and win over course and…
