Followed-up for Mark - top stuff! Original quote: "Viva Verglas - Carries a 6lb penalty for recent win here. Bit more needed here and can be a monkey so not one to totally rely on, but if Luke can get him going again then should not be far away. "

Nice each-way call from Mick. Original quote: "Brigadoon - Third last time out at 20/1 at Wolverhampton - did really well that day. Down a pound and back at Southwell a plus as he likes the surface here. Competitive race, but running well at the moment and each-way claims here today."

Nice each-way call from Mark. Original quote: "Brigadoon - Third last time out at 20/1 at Wolverhampton - did really well that day. Down a pound and back at Southwell a plus as he likes the surface here. Competitive race, but running well at the moment and each-way claims here today."

Nice call from Tim! Original quote: "Benability - Last win back in December 14, but this doesn't look a great race and the horse has slipped down to a winable mark. Conditions are fine and would not be shocked to see a lot better here today with just 10-5 to carry."

Landed another great win for Mick. Original quote: "Call Out Loud - CD winner and landed a seller last time at Kempton in decent fashion. Will be harder back into a handicap today but has come out of that race well and should not be far away - but the Loughnane and Spencer horses in…

Nice each-way call from Gay. Original quote: "September Issue - Competitive race, but he's running well at the moment without winning. Conditions will be fine and has won here before. Down a pound and the jockey's 7lb claim a big plus too - each-way claims. "

Top call from Scott and a TQ 1-2-3 in the race!! Original quote: "Crosse Fire - Running consistently well without getting his head in front. Has some good performances this season over 6f and he wasn't jumping out of the stalls very well at the time. Jumping out better and although this is tough, he…

A much improved run from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Time And Again - Not been out since last November, when falling at Ludlow. Yet to win a race from 14 tries but dropped in grade and we are trying the first-time hood to see if that helps keep him focused. Hoping the drop in grade…

Hit a bit of a flat spot but then ran on well to land third - one to keep an eye on over further. Original quote: "Fraser Canyon - Doesn't look the best of races so that must give us a decent chance here. Has done well the last twice and races off the same…

Some nice prize money landed here for Simon! Original quote: "Forceful Appeal - Useful older horse who has been better than ever this winter and loves it here. Ran well in this last year when getting too far back and no surprise to see him running on strongly if the race works out for him."

Plugged on well to take third for Mark! Original quote: "Big Amigo has been running well this winter but both his wins have come at Southwell over further. He has won at Wolverhampton before but our biggest concern today is the drop back to 5f. He is also wrong at the weights with some of…

Nice shout from Oliver! Original quote: "Morning Reggie has been a frustrating horse, he has a huge amount of ability, works and schools well and it all seems to be what sort of mood he is in. He's wearing blinkers and I'm hopeful of a good run."

Easy 27 length winner for Gary! Original quote: "CASSE TETE ran an improved race last time out and I hope he can show further improvement today. Small field but a competitive race and I think the stiffer track could suit."

Great run from Gary's horse at 25/1! Original quote: "Darebin can be quirky but he is quite talented and I would like to see him put a couple of poor hurdle efforts behind him. Been running well on the all weather so he is certainly fit. Change of headgear may help - e/w squeak."

Top shout from Gary to land the each-way money at 25/1!! Original quote: "Crystal Lad ran a much improved race recently when winning at Fontwell. Ground conditions and the trip should suit and I hope to see Crystal Lad run well - looks a nice each-way price."

Nice 10/1 winner for Henry Oliver! Original quote: "Major Hinderance - The Mulholland horse is the one we've all got to beat, but we've got a chance. Yet to win, but only had 5 races so there will be more to come. Soft ground, trip and track will all be fine, plus we are down…

Henry was right - beaten just a short head! Original quote: "After Hours - Wasn't disgraced last time when second to an improving sort at Lingfield. Same mark here, but the step up to 2m4f is a plus and will be fine in the ground. Competitive race, but the horse is well and should not…

A much better run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Financial Climate - He burst a blood vessel last time at Wincanton, he got jumped into at the second fence and that completely took him out of his rhythm. We've put Harry on who claims a valuable 10lbs and we are hopeful of a more positive…

Nice winner for the in-form Mick Appleby team. Original quote: "Hannington - Been given a chance by the handicapper - dropped 3lbs for his last run. Only beaten 3 lengths that day so her finishing position of 6th was better than it looks. Well handicapped on old form too so hopefully should be popping up…

A step in the right direction from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Le Drapeau ran ok first time out at Exeter, it's difficult to work out bumper form at times. I think he is better than he showed that day but I'm not certain he will handle the ground today. He's not a big weak horse…
