Won by an easy 4 lengths - top stuff from the Griffiths camp. Original quote: "Tavener has been on the go for a bit now, but is taking his racing very well. A decent third last time out at Wolverhampton - only beaten a length - and has come out of the race well. Good…

Nice call from Jamie and a top winner at Cheltenham for the yard. Original quote: "Fact of the Matter - Has won a couple of handicaps in the autumn before he had a winter break. He loves this ground and should have a chance here in a competitive race. Looks a fair each-way price."

Another solid each-way run from Lee's horse at 8/1 to take third. Original quote: "Home Again: Has run well the last three times, without winning, but hitting the frame. Jockey takes off a handy 7lbs and with a good draw (2) should be in the three - anything else a plus."

A TQ 1-2 here - Another solid run from Lee's horse. Original quote: "Spiritual Star - The first thing to note here is that Paddy doesn't ride - he broke his wrist yesterday. Obviously that's a pain as he was claiming 5lbs and that might make the difference between winning and coming 2nd or 3rd.…

Top call - won with a bit to spare! Original quote: "Roman De Brut has been ultra consistant all season and ran another solid race down at Lingfield in a race that wasn't run to suit. He is back to his optimum conditions today & Charlie Bennett takes off a valuable 5lb - should be…

Made a smooth start to chasing - won with a bit in-hand! Original quote: "Alys Rock - A tight and trappy race here with Hi Dancer looking the one we've all got to beat. That said, I think we've got a decent chance here. First run over fences, but has been schooling well at home…

Top run for Charlie's horse! Looks an exciting prospect. Original quote: "Crimson Rosette - You can completely discount Crimson's run at Chelmsford last time as she missed the break and never got into the race. On her run at Newmarket she would be a fraction of the price. I like her a lot and am…

Ran on really well to grab third - another few strides and might have won! Original quote: "The Wallace Line - One of two in the race for us. Ran well at Warwick two starts ago, but failed to follow up on that last time at Uttoxeter. Nothing much came to light after that last…

Made hard work of it - but got the job done in the end. Now for a summer break! Original quote: "Dans Le Vent - Ran a blinder in the Champion Bumper to be 6th. Goes without saying this looks a lot easier so hopefully he can get his head in front before a nice…

A welcome return to form form Dave's horse. Original quote: "Lucky Beggar - Ran a lot better at Newcastle last time out, only beaten 1 3/4 lengths - hoping to build on that. Very well-handicapped on old form and has been working really well at home. Tough race, but each-way shout."

Solid run back from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Palmerston - First run back last time when down the field at Doncaster. A few pounds lower for that and draw 10 not ideal here. On a plus has come on for that outing so hoping for a step forward, while the drop back from 1m2f to…

A solid each-way run! Original quote: "Oscar Star - Was green when fourth on debut. She'll improve tons for that and should give her running today. Sam Twiston-Davies a plus in the saddle so expecting a decent run."

A much improved effort from Henry's horse. Original quote: "Ozzy Thomas - Has not won now since March 2015, so become a tad frustrating. But on a plus is slowly dropping down the ratings and is now just 2lbs higher than when last winning. Sports the first-time cheekpieces so hoping that might help. Plus, has…

Gary's horse just got home to land the money. Original quote: "RYEOLLIEAN is not the most consistent but just about managed to get his head in front two weeks ago. If RYEOLLIEAN is in a good frame of mind today he will finish very closely with my other runner ROYAL BATTALION as they will be…

Just held on to give TV a double on the card! Original quote: "Glimpse Of Gold - Won well last time out and only up 3lbs here so a fair chance of going well again. Only doubts would be the quicker ground and the sharper track, but seems to have come out of that last…

Top call from Tim and another easy TQ View winner! Original quote: "Ballyrock - With the Gary Moore horse out of the race this gives us a great chance here. Well in on the ratings for this Selling Hurdle and providing the track isn't on the sharp side for him then I'll be disappointed if…

Another solid placed run at a track this horse loves! Original quote: "Vroom: Held on last time out here - loves the track and the surface so that gives us hope again. Back into a handicap though so a lot harder and better opposition. That said, in cracking form so each-way claims again at a…

Nice winner for Jamie - a much-deserved win for the horse. Original quote: "Adrrastos - Deserves to win one of these as he's been knocking on the door. He's fit and well and looks to have a decent chance here today. A bit like our other runner today, it looks like we've one to beat."

Landed the each-way money for Scu and the team. Original quote: "Streets Of Promise - Pulled-up last time, but that was in the competitive Eider Chase - probably didn't quite stay that 4m trip. Therefore, the drop back in distance (3m4f) will suit and has won on good ground in the past. Only 4lbs higher…

Solid each-way run from Henry's horse. Original quote: "Murray Mount - Schooling well ahead of his first run over fences here - not many options for horses making their debuts over the bigger obstacles, but is working well and seems to have benefitted from a 2 month break. Would not be shocked if he ran…
