Great winner for Tim. Original quote: "Dovils Date - Great to see him back to winning ways last time at Lingfield. Gutsy from the front that day and only 3lbs higher this time. Step up 2 furlongs here though so more needed, but has won over 2m4f over the sticks. Will love the ground and…

Top win from Mick's horse - looked to have a bit more left in the locker too! Original quote: "Big Country - Done great since joining us. We've given the horse a small break after three fairly quick runs - winning 2 and running a cracker to be 4th in a decent Class 2 Handicap…

Plugged on well to take third = gives Mick something to work with. Original quote: "Vodka Island - Came from the Tim Vaughan yard - first run for us so we'll find out more today, plus first run for 400+ days so expected to come on for it too."

Decent debut run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Now Listen Here - Third runner in the race for us that is making his debut. Been doing well at home, but will learn a lot from today. Trip and ground ok and with Jamie riding could sneak into a place in a race that it's hard…

Stayed on well to take second and land the each-way money. Original quote: "Royal Battalion - Been working very nicely at home. Had a bit of encouragement from his last run so hopefully he can build on that and should have great e/w chances."

Wow!! A top 80/1 winner for JANE! Original quote: "Bullington Bandit: First run here today - been doing well at home, but could be an above average race. Hard to know much about the others with only the Hannon horse - Rouge - having run before, so that looks the obvious one we've all got…

A solid e/w run from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Princess Fleur - Ran well last time over 2m4f - back over hurdles here. This division looks the weaker of the two and the step up to 2m7f should help. Has to have a big chance if repeating that last run."

Only just got touched-off in a photo - one to follow. Original quote: "Twin Point - Has a great record around Kempton and seems to be in decent form. If he gets an easy lead then he could be very dangerous."

Another smooth win for Simon's classy horse. Original quote: "Sparkalot - It was a big ask last time and seemed unsuited by the conditions never moving properly. This is more straightforward and could be a confidence booster for him back at a track he kinows well. Likely to be therreabouts if all goes to plan."

Another solid each-way run from Daniel's horse. Original quote: "Av A Word - Not the most consistent and needs the race to set-up right. But if it does then should go close once again."

A solid each-way run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Hindsight - Decent first two runs when third at Redcar and second at Wetherby - seems well after her last run and getting better with each race. Step up to the extended mile and softer ground fine. This looks tougher, but with the experience we are…

Got up in the closing stages to land this for Mick Appleby. Original quote: "Escalating - Consistent sort that has been running very well of late. Course winner here and shows enough pace for this drop back to 5f. Raymond takes off a handy 7lbs from his back too so hoping this will make a…

Top call from James. Original quote: "Optimistic Bias - Step up in trip for him today which should suit. Very open contest and personal best will be required - but with a clear round will take some beating though."

Another solid run from this busy Dave Griffiths horse. Original quote: "Tavener - Second runner in the race for us and both have similar chances. Been a busy horse of late - ran ok last time and the drop to 6f here should be ok. Good draw in 4 so hopeful of a good each-way…

Great call from Gay - looks a promising sort for the yard. Original quote: "Pastime - The Hannon and Haggas horses are the obvious dangers, but we head here with a decent chance too. A 3 year-old we like and ran a cracker to be 2nd at 100/1 last time at Yarmouth. Has come out…

No chance with the winner - but ran on strongly to take 2nd. Original quote: "Pensax Lady was dissapointing last time out, but we have to draw a line through that as the race wasn't run to suit. She is back at Wolves today where she is a dual course winner, so we are hoping…

A promising return from Gary's horse - one to watch next time. Original quote: "Rydan - Coming back from a little break. Capable in this grade but might just need the outing."

Just got up on the line for the Simon Dow team. Original quote: "Galinthias - Some promise through the winter in two all weather maidens and seemed to be too free on handicap debut here on turf last time over a bit further. This might be more suitable and although he has obvious limitations he is…
