Nice run from Mick's horse - went down by fighting by a narrow margin. Original quote: "Shamrokh - Only career win came here at the track so that's a plus. Trying this 1m2f trip for the first time though and despite showing glimpses of form for us is yet to win from 8 starts for…

A gutsy run from Henry's horse - went down fighting by a narrow margin! Original quote: "Doc Carver - Potentially one of my best horses. Ran two solid races on good ground and then a bit better last time on good-to-soft at Leicester. Hoping the slower ground will bring out more improvement - look to…

Nice e/w call from Mark. Original quote: "Little Miss Kodi ran well on her first run back from a break and came out of that race well. Although she is yet to win on the AW she has had some solid runs over course and distance and at around 10-1 she looks like a good…

Went down by just a short head. Original quote: "Big Amigo has had 2 solid runs since we stepped him up to 7f. We have kept the headgear on him today as it appeared to keep him more focussed last time out - so if they still have the same effect today then we think…

A much better run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Pearl Nation - Has lost his way a bit in recent races, but is back into a claimer here and on these terms should find this a lot easier. Does have a bit to find with Vivat Rex though, who is rated just 3lbs lower than…

Went down by just a neck. Original quote: "Majestic Moon - Has run well at the track the last two runs and proved he stays a mile. Really should be winning in this grade soon, but seems well at home so hoping for a big run."

Great shout from Henry! Original quote: "Major Hinderance: Decent chance - the track and ground are ideal and in great order at home. Has improved for the last run then third at Chepstow and we get in here off a pound lower. One of my better chances on the afternoon."

Got up by a head to land the money for Jamie and the team. Original quote: "Three Ways: Has proved pretty consistent over fences this season, but bumped into a couple of useful sorts. This looks a touch easier but Neil's horse - Impulsive Star - was a better hurdler so a lot of it…

Nice TQ 1-2 in the race. Original quote: "Samovar - The drop to 6f looks like it will suit. Wearing the first-time blinkers today to keep focused. Is well at home and looks to have a fair each-way shout in my eyes."

A nice start to 2018 for the Appleby camp. Original quote: "By Royal Approval - Slightly poor last time out, but that was his first run for 3 months. Has come on for that and dropped a few pounds in the ratings too. The drop back from 7f to 6f will suit though as got…
