Top each-way call from Mick! Original quote: "Indigo Princess: Back in trip here after disappointing us over 1m2f last time. Was slowly away that day and the time before at Newcastle took a hold, so hoping that over this 7f trip they will go a bit quicker for her. Yet to win from 10 races,…

Plugged on well to take third. Original quote: "Uphold: Amateur riders' race, but we've a decent jockey on so that helps. Good draw in stall 2 as well, plus a past course winner. The horse is well and dropped to a handy mark. Looks a dire race so that also helps and would not be…

Another solid each-way run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Brigadoon - On Fire looks the one we've all got to beat, but our horse rarely runs a bad race and looks a good each-way alternative. Been running well and placed many times recently on the AW - but has won 6 times on the turf…

Well-backed and the money was right - nice call from Mick. Original quote: "Classic Pursuit: Only fourth run for us - has done better than his finishing positions indicate as only beaten 2,3 & 4 lengths each time. Dropped in class here helps and we are also down 4lbs from last time. Trying the first-time…

It doesn't get much better than this!! Original quote: "Zubaidah: The horse is well - only second run for us and much better than her debut outing for us. Stepping her up in trip here as found 1m a bit on the sharp side last time and we've got the tongue-tie and cheekpieces on today…

Went down just a neck, but e/w money still landed! Original quote: "Palmerston - A much improved second last time out at Redcar over this trip. Only a pound higher so has been given every chance by the handicapper and draw 3 looks perfect. 2 or 3 others that head here in-form but the horse…

A much improved run - hopefully Tim's horse can kick on now! Original quote: "Winido - Been poor of late so hard to get too excited, but we are trying the first time tongue-tie here. Also first run in a handicap so that should help and George claims a handy 8lbs. A dire race too…

Only just touched-off, but each-way money landed! Original quote: "Viva Verglas - Very competitive race, but the horse has been running well of late and despite coming fourth that last twice has not been beaten far. Same mark, but Toby claims a handy 5lbs - hoping for a solid each-way run."

Another decent win for Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Our Three Sons - Won well last time out and deserved it having been very consistent before that. Running with a penalty so will be harder here, but he's come out of that race well and is in top form. If anything he might improve for the…

Second winner on the night for Mark. Original quote: "Been unlucky to to have won his last 3! Has landed one of those, but too far back last time, when he got going too late at at Lingfield. Liam Keniry back riding today - rode him the two times before the last run. In good…

Nice win for Gay's horse. Original quote: "Black Orange - A 2 year-old we like and one that has started off his career well - finishing second and third. Back on the turf here, but a speedy sort and hoping for another good run. Hard to assess the others, with a lot having never run…

First of two good winners for Mark and the team. Original quote: "Angelical - Returns from 5 month break, but comes here in good form after doing plenty of work at home. Shame there is only 7 runners now, but we get in off a nice mark and David claims a further 7lbs. Hoping for…

No chance with the winner, but a pleasing run. Original quote: "Early Morning - First start of the season, but can go well fresh (won first time out last year) and seems well at home. Did well last term but as a result has crept up the ratings. Jim Crowley a plus in the saddle…

Great winner for Mick. Original quote: "Hells Babe - Kirby riding again for us here. Another horse we've not had long - this is only his 3rd run for us. Has done okay on those starts at Wolverhampton without winning. Found a mile stretching her last time so the drop back to 7f is in…

Nice call from Mick. Original quote: "Ashkoul: One of two in the race for us - both closely-matched. We are still learning about this one with this only being his second run for us - came over from France. Has come on for his last run (7 months off) and 2lbs lower and drop in…

Won well for Henry - one to look out for in the coming weeks! Original quote: "Burrenbridge Hotel - Fell the last day at Bangor at only the second fence. Still finding our feet as just third run here today for us. But seems ok after that fall and had a month to get over…

Won well for Henry - one to look out for in the coming weeks! Original quote: "Fell the last day at Bangor at only the second fence. Still finding our feet as just third run here today for us. But seems ok after that fall and had a month to get over it. Doesn't look…

A nice winner for the Gary Moore camp. Original quote: "Not Never - Very disappointing so far. First run in a handicap though today, which hopefully will bring out some improvement in him. Hopeful he should have every chance today with conditions to suit. "

Top call at 16/1 from Lee! Original quote: "Ixelles Diamond: Has been running well in higher graded races, so this drop into a Class 6 (0-60) is a plus. Up in trip here, but I think she'll stay it - has run well over it in the past, but is another year older now. Draw…

Another win for this improving 3 year-old. Original quote: "Termsnconditions - Surprised us a little last time when winning here last month, but a nice horse and certainly going the right way. Only 2lbs higher this time and in a similar race so no reason why he can't go well again. We get weight from…
