Another nice winner for Mick and the team. Original quote: "Queens Royale - Has won two of her last three and loves the surface here. Two length winner here on Tuesday over this trip - carries a 6lb penalty for that, but has come out of the race well and with conditions to suit should…

Top winner for Scott and the team. Original quote: "Coiste Bodhar - Well weighted at the moment and is well at home. A good claimer riding today and looks to hold a solid each-way chance to me."

Spot-on from Julia. Original quote: "Limerick Lord - Is hard to win with but does run his best races here over this mile. The wide draw actually suits him and Shelley knows him so well. We would hope he has an each-way chance again."

Top call from Julia. Original quote: "Candesta - Is dropping to a handy mark now but needs to jump out of the stalls better than he has done recently and would probably be better over further. Hopefully he will run into a place."

Stayed on well for third, but no chance with the winner. Original quote: "Epitaph - Second the last twice here so has been knocking on the door. Both those runs came in maidens though so into handicaps here makes life harder. On a plus gets in here with a light weight (8-7), but upped in…

Each-way money landed. Original quote: "This looks a very open race with a number of the horses in with a strong shout. Chestnut Fire is in good form in himself, but has never encountered this surface before so we are unsure how he will handle it. We have also had to make a jockey change…

Another nice run from this mare. Original quote: "Fairy Pol - A nice sort that won a few starts ago at Towcester. Ran ok after that too at Exeter when 5th of 15 over a longer trip and on softer ground. Stepping up again in distance here - won't be easy giving weight away, but…

Stayed on really well to take this for the Snowden camp. Original quote: "Hogans Height - Ran a great race to be second the last day and he's pretty reliable. The favourite looks good but we'll be there to exploit any chinks in his armour."

Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Big Amigo - Ran well here on his last run, when he was trying the 7f for the first time. We have put the eyeshields on him today to try and concentrate him in the earlier part of the race and if they have the desired effect…

The return to Southwell did the trick. Original quote: "Queens Royale: The return to Southwell a big plus - won here two starts ago. 4lbs higher this time and didn't seem to enjoy the Chelmsford track last time so can put a line through that. Robert knows the horse well and in what looks an…

Great shout from Dave !! And another TQ View selection landed! Original quote: "Pearl Acclaim - Ran a cracker to win here last time over CD. 6lbs penalty for that makes life harder, but remains in really good form and with a better draw here (5) we are confident of a very good run."

Held on to take this for Harry Dunlop. Original quote: "Jackfinbar - One of the more experienced in the field and going in the right direction. More needed in what looks a tough race for the grade, but very small each-way chance if taking another step forward here with draw 1 a plus."

Stayed on really well to land this. Original quote: "Looksnowtlikebrian - A nice horse and still only 6 so hoping there is a lot more to come. Ran a cracker to be second at Chepstow (chase debut) back in October over 3m2f so we know he stays further that his 2m5f trip - which will…

A much better run from Tim's horse - just held on. Original quote: "Fraser Canyon - Is better than he's been showing of late - going up north to Scotland today in search of slightly better ground as his run a few starts ago on a good surface was a step back in the right…

A much-improved run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "LE CAPRICIEUX looked a little rusty when he last ran after thirteen months off the track. The horse came out of the race fine but looks now to be badly handicapped. Will Clarke taking off 10 pounds will help him massively but LE CAPRICIEUX will have had…

Landed the each-way money. Original quote: "Nathans Pride - Another one of our better horses and that was backed-up last time with a nice win here. Up in grade here so more needed, but off the same mark now back over hurdles. Loves the track and the ground is ideal. The horse is very well…

A top return run from Gary's improving chaser. Original quote: "Another one that has been off the track a while and again will have to show improved form over fences to finish in front of the market leader FIXE LE CAP today, who has beaten him previously. The going should be fine but again could…

A promising run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Ebtkaar - Tight little race with all 7 runners having a squeak. First run for us after coming from Roger Varian's yard - a nice recruit for the yard that makes his handicap debut here today. Only had 3 previous runs so a lot more to come…

Another solid each-way run from Jane's horse. Original quote: "Hows Lucy - Ran a great race last time from a wide draw so today with a better draw (4) and Paddy taking off 5lbs then another good run is expected. Yard needs a bit of luck, but two good chances today so hoping that can…

Spot-on from Jamie and a nice double on the day. Original quote: "Oscar Star - Ran well in bumpers and was second the last day over hurdles in a race which has worked out well. If she stays she should have every chance."
