Spot on from Julia - held on well and a nice 12/1 winner. Original quote: "Pitch High - Could do with a furlong further, but the stiff track should suit him here. Milly rides this one too and again takes off a handy 7lbs. Looks a weak race and also looks to have a good…

Ran on well to take the each-way money. Original quote: "Clondaw Bisto - Ran well enough last time at Plumpton but certainly a bit lazily. Cheekpieces on today and hopefully that will just get him focused a bit more. Each-way claims."

A nice winner for the Sherwood camp. Original quote: "Born Legend - He ran a better race last time with the blinkers which made him concentrate more. It pleased me that he galloped all the way to the line and his jumping seemed to be a lot more slicker. I think claiming 7Ib off him…

Well-backed and got the job done for the Moore team. Original quote: "Bullfrog - Nice filly with a strong pedigree. Hopefully she'll act on the ground - advise e/w."

Spot-on advice from Suzy. One to look for next time. Original quote: "Red Devil Star - Expecting a good run from him today back over his usual trip. Generally a good jumper and hoping to be in the frame this afternoon."

The winner won well, but Gary's horse plugged on well to take 2nd at 12/1. Original quote: "Argyle - Fairly uncompetitive race. Is well at home and surely if he puts his best foot forward he should have a decent chance."

A much better run from Mick's horse - one to watch next time based on this. Original quote: "Chillililli - Not the best of race so that gives us a bit of hope. But Chilli has a fair bit to prove of late too. Yet to win from 12 starts but hoping in the first-time…

A powerful run from the front from Scott's runner. Original quote: "Medici Moon - One of my better chances on the day and won well here two starts back. The Balding runner could be anything after just one run and they normally do ok with their runners up here. Ours has a big chance too…

Solid e/w run from Scott's runner. Original quote: "Sarabi - Drawn on the wrong side at Catterick last time so had exceses. Return to Southwell a plus - past course winner. Returns on a fair mark too so certainly starting to look well-handicapped, especially with the jockey's 5lb claim. Draw 4 is fine - the…

No chance with the easy winner, but each-way money landed. Original quote: "Bertie Moon: Only second run for us - a fair debut effort at Nottingham when 7th of 9, but returns to the AW here to a track we know suits - has won here in the past. Up to 2m here, but is…

A solid run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Templier ran a nice race last time when second at Wincanton. Same mark today, but with 10lb being taken off today via the jockey's claim then should have every chance. Looks a fair each-way option."

Ran on well to take second. Original quote: "Bad Boy du Pouldu had a satisfactory run last time. Hopefully we will see some improvement in him today and if so, he should have reasonable chances."

A much better run from Tim's horse - onwards and upward from here. Original quote: "Timely Gift - Bit to prove still, but only lightly-raced with just 4 runs so will be more to come in time. Hoping the softer ground will suit and has improved for his last run, which was his first 5…

A much-improved run from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Reedanjas - Ran well last time to be third at Yarmouth. Back on the AW today and dropped a pound too. We also have a 7lb claimer on today so that helps and draw 5 is ideal. Bit to prove over this 6f trip still, with only…

Great end to the season for Dave's horse - placed at 66/1! Original quote: "Storm King: Had a cracking season - winning four times - so owes us nothing. Likes to race up with the pace so will make a bold bid from the front again. But a bit to prove over this 1m4f trip…

Another top run in Listed grade from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Danzeno has had a busy season, but is going well at home. Decent end-of-season sprint and we head here with a decent chance. Sir Dancealot looks the main one to beat, but our 6 year-old will love the soft ground and also the return…

Ran on well to be placed again - top run at 10/1. Original quote: "Pastime - Had a top season and has now only been out of the top 3 once from his 7 starts. More needed again off a 3lb higher mark, but remains in cracking order at home so with trip, ground and…

A solid e/w run from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Zayfire Aramis - Ran a cracker last time despite being fourth - was only beaten 1 1/2 lengths at the line here. Gets in off the same mark and seems to have come on for that. Hard race now upped in grade, but conditions to suit…

Top call from Gary. Original quote: "Its Got Legs - First run here today, but a horse which goes well at home. Tough to assess what he's taking on but definite e/w chances."

Another win for Gary's improving chaser. Original quote: "Stoical Patient - Won well after a long break at Plumpton last month. Has come out of that race well. Slight drop in distance here but still appears well handicapped still (despite another 10lb rise) so should have every chance."
