A much better run from Gay's horse at 16/1! Original quote: "Only career win (from 9) came on debut at Beverley. Has struggled on softer ground in the past so a bit to prove there, but on a plus has run well at the track before. Hoping it dries out a bit and is starting…

Landed the each-way money for Mick's supporters. Original quote: "Interlink - A return to form last time at Southwell when second. Gets in here on the turf off a lower rating so every chance of going well again. Won't mind the soft ground and trip perfect. Only negative would be that he's been a bit…

Another top run for Tim's horse at Chepstow. Original quote: "Master Dancer - Loves it here at Chepstow so that's a big plus and has gone well on soft ground in the past too. Returns from a 3 month break so should improve for the run. Also a bit to prove off this mark and…

Plugged on well to land the each-way money at 9/1 and another nice TQ View return too!! Original quote: "Break The Silence - Unlucky the last twice (3rd both times), including when a close third at Chelmsford. In good heart at home and looks a fair price to me around 14/1."

Plugged on well to take 2nd at 6/1. Original quote: "Limerick Lord - Is a horse that is hard to win with as things need to go his way. He has the ability though and is currently well-handicapped. He will be better suited by 7f today, but would have preferred quicker ground. Shelley rides and…

Great call from Julia - her Oceanus gains it's revenge on Edge. Original quote: "Oceanus - Was beaten a short-head by Edge last time at Brighton and we meet him again today - this time on 2lbs better terms. He had no excuses last time so there will probably not be much between them again…

Great call from Charlie to be second at 25/1! Original quote: "Spun Gold - Is having his first run for the yard so there are a lot of questions to be answered. His home work has been very good too and he had a wind op before coming to the yard and has also been…

Ok the winner looked useful, but Charlie's horse still ran well and landed the e/w cash. Original quote: "Lady Of Aran - Ran very well on her racecourse debut 10 days ago when a running on 4th here at the track. Normal progress for mine between their first two races would see her go very…

Another nice win from Gary's in-form 7 year-old. Original quote: "Hermosa Vaquera has been in great form of late excelling over today's course and distance. Today's race is a jump up in grade so things will be harder. However, she remains in good form and we expect another solid performance."

Powered home to win by 2 lengths for Julia - nice call. Original quote: "Our Cilla - Has improved greatly for going handicapping over longer trips - and won well over course and distance two starts back. She didn't seem to stay 2m last time on the revised mark, but back to 1m6f again should…

Powered clear in the final stages to take this for the Simon Dow camp. Original quote: "Ojala - Been progressing nicely but did not have the best passage at Wolverhampton in slowly run race last time. This should suit him better so if he handles a slower surface there is no reason why he should not go…

Ran on really well to take third at 20/1. Original quote: "Merdon Castle - Only second run for us as formerly with the Ruth Carr yard. Trying Sandown again here as he stumbled at the start last time and lost all chance. Was still only beaten 4 lengths though so was an encouraging effort considering.…

A return to form from Mick's runner at 12/1 - one to watch for next time. Original quote: "House Of Commons - Bit to prove at the moment as 9 runs without a win. But has been trying a variety of different trips and the return to a mile will suit though - especially in…

Came home well to grab second and almost win the race! Original quote: "ALTAAYIL had a spin around Fontwell recently after a long lay-off. But, the conditions of this race just may suit him today on a return to the flat but off a stiff enough mark after not being seen on the flat for…

No chance with the winner, but ran on well to take 2nd. Original quote: "King Of The Sand - I hope - will have made progress after his debut run at Brighton three weeks ago. Ran a respectable race (3rd) but looked a bit green at the business end. Hopeful that King Of The Sand…

A return to form from Tim's horse - plugged on well for third at 10/1 and another nice TQ View return too. Original quote: "Royale Django - The horses are running well in general - just the one runner today with Royal Django. Below par recently in his races, but has only had 2 runs…

Great stuff from Daniel's horse - made up for a narrow defeat last time out. Original quote: "Solent Meads - A much better horse on the all-weather - he threw away a winning chance when idling in front last Saturday at Wolverhampton, but was still miles clear of the third. Getting him out again before…

Another solid run from Henry's horse. Original quote: "Murray Mount - Course and distance winner so that's a plus and the ground ideal too. A competitive handicap with Skilled looking the obvious danger. We are in good form though after his break (2 1/2 months) as ran a flat last time when 4th at Worcester.…

Ran on well to take third and make it a TQ 1-3 in the race. Original quote: "Charlie's Dreamer - First time into a handicap helps, as does the drop back in trip. Ran well two starts ago over 6f at Windsor and on that run would have an each-way squeak on what looks a…

Bounced back to winning ways for Scott - top call. Original quote: "Ebitda - Won very well on penultimate run and was put up significantly for it. I wouldn't fully blame the hike in the weight for last time over course and distance though. This is easier and she remains well. Think she looks good…
