Only just failed, but each-way money landed - 10/1 into 3/1! Original quote: "Megabucks - Ran well to be third last time at Leicester and has come out of that race well - Similar race today and won't mind conditions. Fresh after 5 weeks off so we head here hoping for a good run and…

Couldn't get the lead this time, but different tactics paid off! Original quote: "Something Lucky - Ran well yesterday at Southwell - only got pipped on the line. Has come out of that race well and will make another bold bid from the front. Draw 5 is fine and hoping he can sling-shot around the…

Plugged on well to take third. Original quote: "Viva Verglas - He's a bit of a monkey these days as he gets older, but if putting his best foot forward he can go close in this. We are putting headgear on today to see if that brings improvement, but he's in good form at home…

Broke it's duck for Mick. Original quote: "Epitaph - Looks a tight little race and probably needs to step up a bit on what we've seen of late. Surface is fine, but yet to win from 21 starts so that tells it's own story. Step up to 1m4f a plus and should run his race,…

Ran a top race to land the e/w money at 25/1. Original quote: "Royalraise - He's had his issues but I believe he still holds his ability. He travelled well last time at Kempton in a nice hurdle race before tiring in the later stages. He's back over fences today and I'm hopeful of a…

Another gutsy win from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Cheque En Blanc - Improved for the step up in trip last time when winning well at Taunton. Remains in fine form and up just 6lbs looks fair - hopefully can do so again today."

An easy 3 1/4 length win for Mark's horse. Original quote: "Dark Alliance - Very unlucky last time not to be involved. Is in great form, but the Frost-trained horse - Joey's Destiny - is down a lot in the weights and is the one I fear. For me it looks like there's not a…

Each-way money landed, but only went down a head and a short-head. Original quote: "Kafoo - Well drawn in 1, so that helps and can put a line though the last run as didn't seem to enjoy it at Southwell. Only beaten 2 1/4 lengths two starts ago at Lingfield and down 2lbs for that,…

Might need to brush up it's jumping, but still a top effort from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Seaston Spirit - He has run well in his two bumpers. He's not the flashiest horse at home and just works as well as he has too. His schooling has been good though ahead of this first run…

No chance with the winner, but ran on well to take second. Original quote: "Second runner in the race for us and looking our better chance. This longer trip today should suit LARRY and he comes here today in good form. LARRY has run credibly here at Plumpton in the past and although there are…

Took full advantage of the fall of Rather Be - a nice winner for the Moore camp. Original quote: "Clearly RATHER BE is the top one to beat and I suspect with a clear round this race is his for the taking. Hopefully though SAN PEDRO DE SENAM has adjusted more to life in England…

Gutsy win from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Not Never - The ground conditions are not ideal today for NOT NEVER which leaves room for doubt, but NOT NEVER is working extremely well at home and I have no other concerns so I hope that he can justify its position as one of the favourites today."

Another solid run from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Jaunty Flyer - One of two in the race for us and certainly our better chance. Only just touched-off last time at Ffos Las over 3m, but that came in similar ground and after 5-6 weeks off has been freshened up after that. Drop in trip here…

Ran on well to land the each-way money. Original quote: "Best Example - Is trying Southwell for the first time but we hope it will suit his running style as he needs cover and a strong pace. The trip is no problem and a good amateur with Ross riding. Probably just have Sir Mark's horse…

A very easy winner for Harry and the team. Original quote: "Flight Of Fantasy - Is well after a few months off and heads here off the back of a close second at the track last time. Only a few pounds higher here than last time but down in grade so hoping she'll find this…

Nice call from Scott - looks a winner waiting to happen. Original quote: "Love Rat - Looks to be a nice horse in the making. Is a slow learner and was slowly away last time, but has come on for that debut run. Looks good each-way value to me."

A pillar-to-post success for Dave's horse. Original quote: "Magic Pulse - Beaten just a short head here last week. Has been running really well and has come out of that race very well. No reason why she can't go well again over the same trip and Dougie continues in the saddle. Hoping to go close."

Ran on well to land the e/w money. Original quote: "Pour L' Amour - Another of ours today that likes it here at the track - past CD winner. Last win came off this mark of 63 back in May here so every chance based on that. Has been knocking on the door of late…

Plugged on well to land the e/w money. Original quote: "Wicker should run another big race. Won well here just before Christmas - getting up in the closing stages. Got a good draw in 2 and despite being back into handicap company here has a big chance. Has trained on well since that last win…

Top call from Gay - an outright win would have been better, but a dead-heat still gives us a nice return! Original quote: "Vettori Rules - A return to form last time out at Kempton when a close third to an improving sort. Has had 3 weeks off since then and done well since. Well…
