Several key non-runners helped Jamie's horse - nice win! Original quote: "Midnight Silver - Has been a star for us but she's high enough in the handicap as a result. She's improved for her seasonal debut (4th Ffos Las) but may find this trip a bit short. Hoping for a good run, but doesn't look…

Got up on the line to land the money and another TQ View success! Original quote: "Wicker - We are hoping Wicker can win today. The last start was a slow pace that didn't suit and got too far back. She is still in great order and hopefully the horse can make amends here."

Great shout from Mick! Original quote: "Hisar - Great draw in 1 gives us every chance here. Luke Morris also a plus in the saddle and the drop back to 6f a positive after getting run out of things over 7f of late. One of my better chances on the day."

Another solid place run from this consistent horse. Original quote: "Pastime: A consistent sort that rarely runs a bad race. Last run was his only below-par effort but nothing came to light. Returns to Newcastle - a track he's won at before so hoping for a lot better here. Look to have the Simcock horse…

Nice call from Mick - no chance with the winner, but a nice recruit for the yard. Original quote: "Cape Cova - A nice recruit to the yard - former John Gosden horse that is rated in the low 100's. Only had one AW run, but that was a win at Lingfield. Tough race and…

A top run - only got run out of it in the closing stages. Original quote: "Monbeg Theatre - Was a decent hurdler, but lost his way over fences. However, he is off a very winnable mark if going back over hurdles can restore his confidence."

No chance with the winner - but each-way money still landed. Original quote: "Dawn Goddess - A competitive type of race for the grade, but don't completely lose faith in her just yet. A nice draw (3) and could have an e/w chance with the jockey's 3lb claim a further plus. "

The money came for Gary's horse and it's easy to see why. Original quote: "Cheque En Blanc - Probably my best chance of the day. Well at home and been running well in defeat of late. If all goes right, he should have a good chance."

Another top run from one of Gay's horses - noted for next time. Original quote: "Ubla - The horses are starting to run better so there are positives. Ubla was a fair fourth last time at Southwell over a mile on just it's second start for me - this drop to 7f is fine. Has…

Nice 40/1 winner for Mick and the team. Original quote: "Secret Lightning - Course winner so the return to Wolves will help. Big ask last time so can put a line through that effort and back into a handicap helps. Last win came off just a pound lower, but we claim 5lbs off the jockey…

Made it a TQ 1-2 in the race. Original quote: "Viva Verglas - Continues to look well-handicapped but needs to improve on his starts. Losing his races at the gates at present then running on well with too much to do. Draw 10 is not ideal, but the return to Wolves should help (course winner).…

Gay's horses are certainly on the up - solid run from this front runner. Original quote: "Vroom - Likes to race up with the pace so draw 6 should just about be ok. Looking well handicapped at the moment and the jockey takes off another 5lbs. Not the easiest to win with but the horses…

Only failed by a neck, but each-way money landed. Original quote: "Topmeup - Third run for me. Has done well in her two runs so far and the horses seem to be running better at the moment. Dropped 2lbs helps and the jockey takes off 3lbs as well. Trip and track are fine so hopeful…

Another win for Simon's in-form runner. Original quote: "Dutiful Son - Found his form back at this track last week in a small handicap and an obvious chance in this though shoulders a considerable penalty. Remains in great shape."

A much better run from Gay's horse - one to follow next time. Original quote: "Vettori Rules: A lot to prove of late - has not built on first few runs for us and rather lost it's way. As a result continues to drop down the ratings. On a plus we hope the step back…

Solid each-way call from Gary. Original quote: "Rydan - Probably my best chance of the day. Course winner, but stepping up in distance here which I think will suit him and hopefully give him every chance. Adam Kirby rides - looks a decent each-way price. "

Ran on well to take second - but the winner had already flown. One for next time! Original quote: "Roundabout Magic - Three times course and distance winner last Winter and back with these conditions he has his best chance of getting involved for some time though literal interpretation of his form gives him a bit to…

Just had enough in-hand at the line to take this nice prize for the Dow camp. Original quote: "Emenem - Multiple winner and still looks to be going the right way, ran well on last starts on the all weather taking minor honours and no reason why he should not go close again in this…

An easy win for Dave's horse. Original quote: "Pearl Acclaim - Ran ok last time here and the drop to 5f should suit better - in good order at home and we are dropped 3lbs from that last run too. Competitive race, but every chance - each-way."

Spot-on call from Scott - one to note next time! Original quote: "Best Tamayuz - First run back after a lay-off. Has done plenty of work but feel with the track riding so slow due to the cold he will run well and likely to fade late on and then come on for the outing."
