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…

Top stuff from the Griffiths camp. Original quote: "Storm King has been running well without getting his head in front. Ran a cracker over CD three runs back and seems in really good order. Competitive little race, but hopeful of building on his course form and we help by taking a further 7lbs off his…

Kept on well in the final furlong to take second. Original quote: "Spowarticus - Another of ours that is making a quick return to the track after only running here on Tuesday. Not won for a while so starting to become a bit expensive to follow - however, as a result is starting to look…

A TQ 1-2 in the race ! Original quote: "Av A Word: Disappointed last time - so we revert back to cheekpieces. Drop back to a mile probably not ideal but hoping slower surface negates that effect. Not a straightforward character but shows enough ability to suggest winning a bad race is a possible."

Ran on strongly to lead in the last 100 yards. Original quote: "Padleyourowncanoe is returning from a six month break so although we think he is fit enough to do himself justice, he will also come on from the run today. His 2 year old form was a bit mixed but he showed a bit…

Nice call from Mick. Original quote: "Secret Lightning - Just the one runner for us today. Got caught up in a pile-up at Wolverhampton last time and unseated the jockey, but seems none-the-worse for that and so back on the track just 3 weeks later. Same mark here, but stepped up to a mile today,…

Just the one runner for us today. Got caught up in a pile-up at Wolverhampton last time and unseated the jockey, but seems none-the-worse for that and so back on the track just 3 weeks later. Same mark here, but stepped up to a mile today, which is no issue. Silvestre takes over in the…

Only beaten two short heads! A much better run from Lee's horse. Original quote: "Spiritual Star: Certainly has the ability to take this - past CD winner and looking very well-handicapped. However, a bit word of caution as it's nothing new to tell you the horse can be a bleeder and so a risky option.…

Overcame the bad draw to win well again for Simon Dow. Original quote: "Roundabout Magic - Speedy colt that won here last time out. Up 4lbs for that win so more needed and looks tough enough from a wide draw in 8. But remains in great order and can't be easily discounted."

Powerful ride from Luke Morris to get this one home. Original quote: "Viva Verglas - Down the field in a seller last time, but that was his first run back for 5 1/2 months. Seems better for it now and doesn't look too badly treated back into a handicap. Has run well on the surface…

A welcome return to form from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Rupert Boy - Was beaten 21 lengths here last time so a lot to prove. However, the drop back to 7f will help - likes to race up with the pace and down another 2lbs for that run. Only career win came off 2lbs higher…

Nice debut win for the horse under Mick's care. Original quote: "Debut run for us today - used to be with the Tony Carroll yard. We've not had the horse too long so we'll find our feet a bit more after today, but at least has run at the track and runs off her lowest…

Nice to see Scu's horse back to winning ways! Original quote: "Two Smokin Barrels: Trappy little race - had been flying along until last run, but made a bad mistake early on that day and rather lost his chance after that. Plugged on for 4th of 6 and so we gave him a month off…

Won with a bit to spare for Gay and the team. Original quote: "Lady Lydia - Simply Me has been in flying form of late and looks the one we've all got to get the better of. Our horse needs everything to go right as she bled last time and so not the most reliable…

Solid each-way run from Jamie's horse at 14/1! Original quote: "Hogans Height - Will be a nice staying chaser in time. He jumps and gallops, but needs to learn to settle first. Providing he copes with the heavy ground then he'd have an each-way chance. Sam an obvious plus in the saddle."

A solid second from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Blameitalonmyroots: Ruby - as he's know at home - was brave at Kempton last time out, when winning. Three miles around there was sharp enough for her but she battled back from an unpromising position turning into the straight to win nicely in the end - it…

Nice call from Henry! Original quote: "Today Please - Pulled up last time at Taunton, but probably found the ground lively enough that day. A bit to prove off this mark with last win coming off 9lbs lower, but Tommy's 7lb claim certainly helps on that front. Had 3 months off too and has gone…

Top call from Scott - second at 14/1! Original quote: "Pearl Noir - A lot of runners so competitive feel, but not the best of races so that must give us a decent chance of being involved again. First run at the track, but no reason why it won't suit - we think the stiff…

Won by a staggering 19 lengths!! We know Tim likes this one!! Original quote: "Debece - Had 3 months off, but we are not too worried about that as he's been working well at home and seems better for the break. Has also gone well fresh in the past. A horse we like and there…

Nice shout from Scu! Original quote: "Dinsdale - Only 4th run over hurdles and has done well so far, despite not winning. Made a mistake last time out and lost all chance after that, but still plugged on for third. Ideally would not want too much more rain but a race with little depth outside…
