Great each-way call from Scott at 28/1! Original quote: "Boots And Spurs - As well as ever at home but he hasn't translated that on the track as much this year. Had plenty  of excuses the last two runs and has just been dropped 2lbs on the turf as a result. Still feel the handicapper…

Nice call from Jamie. Original quote: "Fact Of The Matter - Is a smashing horse who won 3 of his 5 chases last season as a novice. His latest win was a comprehensive display at Cheltenham. Into Open company here so that demands yet more, but he's on a crest of a wave at the…

Solid each-way run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Art of Swing - Should be suited to the good-soft ground. If so, should have every chance after a very good run last time."

Spot on again from Mick - his best chance of the day landed at 4/1. Original quote: "Hells Babe - Only had three runs for us, but got off the mark in good fashion last time at Doncaster. Softer ground here, but that's fine as has won on it before. Has come out of that…

Great call from Gary and first winning ride from the promising Jason Watson. Original quote: "Many Dreams - First run for the stable. Been working well at home and hopefully will be suited by the ground. Could have a decent e/w chance."

Solid run from Mick's horse and a TQ 1-3 in the race! Original quote: "Poyle Vinnie - Wasn't beaten far last time in conditions that were not ideal. Will love the soft ground here - bolted up in soft conditions at Hamilton before and loves getting his toe-in. Is well at home and the horses…

Great call from Dave! Original quote: "Duke Of Firenze - Won this race for us last year off a 13lb lower mark, but despite his age has improved since. Ran very well at Chester off this mark last week and would have been a lot closer had he got a clearer run. Has come out…

An easy winner for Mick and a horse to follow. Original quote: "Sean O Casey: First run for us - former Aidan O'Brien-trained horse. Yet to run this far, but breeding suggests it will suit and has been doing well at home. A very nice recruit for the yard and hoping for a big run…

Landed a double on the day for Mick. Original quote: "Moi Aussie - 7th run for us, but first run on the turf since joining the stable. Looking well-handicapped at the moment after a few below-par runs, but hoping a change of scenery and racing on grass will help her. Has gone ok with cut…

Nice run from Jane's horse. Original quote: "Hows Lucy - In the right grade and will certainly like the rain. That said is probably better over a mile, but no real suitable races over that trip at the moment so giving 7f a try again - place chance."

Got home by a narrow margin, but they all count! Original quote: "Murray Mount - Unseated at the first last time out at Uttoexter on just his season chase start. Seems none the worse for that and actually jumped well on his first run over fences (2nd). Easier fences here at Southwell so hoping we…

Another solid run from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Socialites Red: Won well for us on Friday night - carries a 6lb penalty for that but has come out of the race well. Draw 8 not 100% ideal, so might need a bit of luck from there, but has run well at the track in the…

Handled the ground - another nice winner for the Loughnane camp. Original quote: "Roman De Brut - In good form at the moment and heads here off the back of a good win at Wolverhampton. The ground a bit of an unknown but Charile continues in the saddle and I think he'd have a decent…

Nice winner for Mick to make the long trip south pay off. Original quote: "In Kens Memory - Back the long trip down and hopefully it will pay off. First run for us after coming from the John Bridge yard so we'll learn a bit more today. But seems well and this 7f trip and…

Top call from Charlie - his horses are in great order at the moment. Original quote: "Chiefofchiefs - I'm taking a huge risk running this horse back here at Windsor only a week after he ran out - but I know the horse very well and I know it won't happen today - he will…

Loved conditions and the first of two winners for Charlie. Original quote: "Fire Tree - Has been waiting for rain and it look like we are finally going to get some today. Trip and track should be no problem and he has a solid chance - if the rain doesn't come then he's unlikely to…

Nice call from Mick. Original quote: "Hindsight - Red Royalist might be hard to beat, but we were pleased with our horses debut third at Redcar. Has come on for that and the way she finished the race suggests this extra furlong will be right up her street. Paul Hanagan a plus in the saddle.…

After some solid efforts gained a much-deserved victory. Original quote: "Lucky Beggar - Has been running really well of late, without winning. Remains in great form at home and has ideal trip and ground here. Hopeful of another solid run - decent each-way claims."

Led from the front and was never passed!! Original quote: "Toviere ran well in defeat at Ascot on his most recent run, I've seen him jump better but he did run to the line which he hasn't always done in his races. Toviere has been a consistent horse without winning, his pedigree suggested he would…

Powered up the Brighton hill to land this for Daniel and the team. Original quote: "Av A Word - Slightly frustrating type. He never runs the same race twice and was disappointing last time round, but the race has worked out well so maybe not as bad as it seemed. Best run from this horse…
