Plugged on well to take second! Original quote: "Boss In Boots - Quirky sort, so not one to go overboard with. Certainly capable on his day though and has dropped to a very decent mark. Trip, track and ground are all fine and he seems better for his recent run here (4th of 5). 5lbs…

They did nick second !! At 25/1 too! Original quote: "Air Approach - Looks like we might be playing for places here with Azari and Stealing Mix likely to fight this one out. That said, if any of that pair run below par then we've a small squeak. First time over hurdles for the horse…

Great call from Simon - a nice winner at his local track! Original quote: "Emenem - Too keen last time on fast ground, this will suit him better and remains progressive though not won yet on turf in 3 starts. If he is back to the same form that saw him win 3 times on…

Ran on really well to take second at 25/1 for Gary and the team. Original quote: "Whinging Willie: Second runner in the race for us - First run of the year on a track he runs well at. Nice racing weight. Should have decent e/w chances but no matter what happens should come on for…

Landed the each-way money - well-backed, but we were on at the bigger prices. Original quote: "Light Of Air - Has been very consistent of late. Struggling to get his head in front but the track today might suit a horse like him so hoping for another solid each-way effort. "

Another top run from Dave's horse to be a close third at 5/1. Original quote: "Tavener: Taking his racing well at the moment - fourth run this month. Was an impressive winner last time out at Lingfield (4 lengths) so heads here at the top of his game. 6lb rise makes life harder and draw…

Got the job done for Harry! Original quote: "Rum Swizzle: Looks a tight little race with a lot revolving around Star Of Lombardy. Only 6 runners, but at least we get weight all-round. Ideally might have wanted further than this, but on the whole is a consistent mare. Only AW win came here so that…

Solid run at 7/1 from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Hallings Wish: Back after a little break. Seems to be working well at home and should have every chance and a course he likes. "

Only just failed to get up - but each-way money landed at 8/1! Original quote: "Binky Blue - Was left too far behind off a slow gallop the last time - hopeful of a lot better here today and should have a good each-way squeak."

Solid each-way run from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Breaking Bits - He's very consistent and thankfully on a good mark now. However this looks a competitive race, but we are hoping he gets in the money today"

A very easy winner for Scu! Original quote: "Sheneededtherun - Winning pointer who made a nice start over hurdles and ran well behind Brillare Momento last time who went on to win at Cheltenham. She has come on from that run and this is a lot easier today and I hope she just has to…

Spot on from Jamie. Original quote: "Our Three Sons - Done really well after his break and will like the ground. Nicely handicapped now and has an excellent chance at a decent price, probably my best chance of the day."

Well beaten, but a much better run from Henry's horse. Original quote: "Chosen Tribe - Hasn’t shown much to date and an outsider here, we would need something to go a miss with the main principles in the betting but there will be improvement in him when he is in handicap company."

An easy 20 length winner for Tim's horse. Original quote: "Always Archie: Last seen running in a point - is having his first run back for us but we've had the horse before so we know him well.  In to a Hunter Chase here today and at the weights looks to have a decent chance…

Top call from Tim and a double on the day. Original quote: "The Mythologist - Has been a bit unlucky in recent outings , but hopefully we've found a decent race for him here. Trip and ground ideal so if everything falls into place for him today then I think we head here with a…

Top call from Tim and a double on the day. Original quote: "The Mythologist - Has been a bit unlucky in recent outings , but hopefully we've found a decent race for him here. Trip and ground ideal so if everything falls into place for him today then I think we head here with a…

Got up in the closing stages to land the money for the Loughnane camp. Original quote: "Scribner Creek was very unlucky not to get up to win last time out & was beaten by the narrowest of margins. He is back at Wolverhampton tonight where he is a course & distance winner and Rob Winston…

Held on by a head to land the money. Original quote: "Mr Red Clubs: Running well at present - winning one and finishing second in his last three starts. Jane gets on well with him and continues to claim 7lbs. Likes the track here so another bold bid on the cards - but does need…

Another nice each-way call from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Penny Dreadful - Ran a cracking race at Catterick last time out over 6f - led for most of the way and battled on bravely at the finish to take third. She went wider that ideal on the final bend and the jockey reported she would…

Nice call from Gary! Original quote: "Bad Boy Du Polder - Very disappointing horse so far. Hopefully the application of blinkers will bring out some sort of improvement in him and this doesn't look the best of races. Hoping for better today. "
