Ran on well to take 2nd for the Sherwood camp. Original quote: "Jurby won a bumper at Newcastle for Malcolm Jefferson he then picked up an injury at Aintree and hasn’t run since, 925 days ago. This will be his first hurdle race Jurby has done plenty of work but is obviously going to improve…

Spot-on from Henry! Original quote: "Dr Des - Is pleasing at home in his work - he is fairly straight and travels very well. The ground is ideal and hoping for a good run. Think we head here with a fair chance of running well at a nice price."

Nice call from Tim and a 1-3 for them in the race. Original quote: "Normandy King - One of two in the race for us - returns from a break so no matter what happens here will improve for this. Only second run over fences so still learning but has done plenty of work in…

A nice 1-3 in the race for Tim! Original quote: "Tara Mac - Second runner in the race for us and is also returning from a break. Top jockey booked in Sam Twiston-Davies and has gone well fresh in the past so not too concerned about the break. Like I said before, the Skelton horse…

Odds-on but still had to get the job done! Original quote: "Eragon De Chanay - Really we'd be disappointed if he's not taking this. Only 3 runners now with our main rival out and seems to have improved a fair bit from his debut run for us when 3rd of 9 at Market Rasen. Trip…

Another winner this week for the in-form Scott Dixon yard. Original quote: "Boots And Spurs - Ran very well when finishing 10th of 20 in a decent handicap at York last time when out of the weights. He would of finished closer too had the race panned out differently as he suffered some interference. This…

Ran a cracker to be third at 16/1 - much bigger prices in the morning too! Original quote: "Call Out Loud - Should find this a lot easier than last time as down from Class 3 to Class 5. We are also 6lbs lower in the ratings here, while any further rain will be a…

Another gutsy win from Dave's superstar sprinter. Original quote: "Take Cover - Our superstar sprinter heads over to Ireland to run in a race he won 2 years ago. Remains in the form of his life despite his age (10) after winning a Group 3 last time out at Newbury. In cracking order and draw…

Backed up it's recent win with another gutsy effort. Original quote: "Navajo Star - The penny dropped last time with a nice win at Chelmsford. Up 6lbs here and a different track, but has come out of that race well and if running to that level again then no reason why she can't go close…

Another top effort from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Hermosa Vaquera: In the form of her life - winning her last three! All recent wins have been slightly further round Lingfield, but has won at this track over further. Should have a good chance off only a 2lb higher mark. Hector rides."

Made all to make the long trip south pay off for Scott! Original quote: "Break The Silence - In good form with a string of placed efforts. Runner-up over course and distance, but I feel he's keeping a little in reserve so the headgear is reached for this time in an attempt to get the…

Spot on from Gary - an easy 4 1/2 length winner and a double on the day. Original quote: "King Of The Sand - Two good runs round this track first time which is a plus. Looks a competitive race but should have strong e/w chances."

Another nice TQ View winner this week! Original quote: "Sing Out Loud - Possibly unlucky latest when a close second here just 9 days ago over 7f - didn't get much room in the closing stages and the saddle slipped. Drop back in trip is fine and conditions will suit - we think we head…

Stayed on well to land the spoils for the in-form Tim Vaughan camp. Original quote: "Dovils Date - Last seen over the sticks, but has actually won his last two on the flat - at Lingfield and Chepstow. Up another 4lbs here and the return to the level is a plus. Is fit and well…

Great call from Daniel - a clear 2nd at 33/1! Original quote: "Not After Midnight: First go in Nursery company - disappointed last time, but that was on account of the very soft ground and also running too free. However, if running to the level of her first two starts and able to stay this…

A much better run from Gary's horse - looks one to follow on this run. Original quote: "Kafeel - Back off a break - but is fit and well for this return. The first-time visor is expected to help a lot and a good run will be expected."

Another placed effort from Mark's Binky Blue. Original quote: "Binky Blue ran a cracker from a wide draw last week and seemed to handle the track well at Kempton - so we are returning to a race of the same grade this evening. Shane Kelly takes the ride again and unfortunately we have been given…

This improving Charlie Fellowes runner goes in again. Original quote: "Hajaam - Has bolted up in this last 2 races, but has to run today off a 12lb higher mark. Improving rapidly though so I would like to think he can still win off this mark. SDS rides."

Cracking shout from Tim - an easy winer at 14/1! Original quote: "Officer Hoolihan - A horse we like a lot and did nothing wrong last term. Has finished in the top three in 6 of his 7 hurdles races and ended last season with a nice win at Carlisle - that win was made…

No chance with the easy winner - but plugged on well for third. Original quote: "Mungo Madness - Has been disappointing but he is back at Yarmouth where he has run well before. Over a longer trip and has no weight with Milly Naseb taking off 7lbs. We are just hoping for a good run…
