Top effort from Henry's horse. Original quote: "Love Lane - Ran well on rules debut last time at Towcester (4th of 7). Has improved at home, while the ground and track here will be fine. The three main runners in the race (top of the betting) would take a lot of beating though so just…

No chance with the winner, but a much better run from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Tilly Devine - Took a bit of a hold last time and we feel the tactics were not right so not seen to best effect. Worth another try at this distance and Kieran is back in the saddle. Hopeful of…

Only just missed out - but at 8/1 still a nice e/w return. Original quote: "Poyle Vinnie - We expected a bit better recently, but the return to Southwell is certainly a plus. Continues to drop down the ratings and we are now off a mark of 90, which looks very attractive as he's been…

Spot-on from Henry! Original quote: "Steps And Stairs: First run for us - was formerly with the Jonjo O'Neill yard. Has settled in well and this looks a good place to start him off in what doesn't look the best of races. Working well and had loads of work so we are really pleased with…

Great call from Scott. Original quote: "Best Tamayuz - Well out of the weights last time, so we can ignore that run. Remains well in himself though and a fine draw in 8. Loves the track and in an open race looks to have place claims."

A nice 2 length win for Simon's horse. Top stuff! Original quote: "Native Fighter - Ran well on both starts for us since arriving from Germany. This track should suit him better and likely to go well again if in the same form, looks to have a leading chance."

Almost landed the win - just got run out of it in the dying strides - but still collected the e/w return. Original quote: "Monbeg Theatre - Was a very progressive novice hurdler. He had a few injuries and didn't take to chasing but ran well to be a good second off this mark before…

Ran a blinder for the Sherwood team and only got chinned on the line - one to look for next time. Original quote: "Road To Rome ran ok on his first run for us at Wetherby over hurdles before putting in a disappointing show at Huntingdon, he ran a nothing sort of race and as…

Much better from Rayvin - a top front-running dispaly from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Rayvin was being a bit of a plonker at the start of his last race when nearly depositing Tom as the tapes went up, he then did get rid of him at the first fence. He jumped pretty nearly every fence…

Stayed on really well to take this. Original quote: "Dark Alliance was very unlucky not to win last time out, but just got no luck in-running and ended up running on well to take 3rd. The horse remains in cracking form at home and Eddie Greatrex knows him well, so our only unknown is taking…

Just got chinned on the line - but another solid e/w effort. Original quote: "Something Lucky - Has done really well since joining us - winning three of his last 5 and placed in his last 6. Same mark as last time, but 8lbs higher than last win, but being a course winner here and…

Followed-up it's recent Catterick win very well here. Original quote: "Dresden - Is in great order and won well at Catterick lasst time out. I think he'll cope with the softer/heavier ground over this shorter trip. Track also fine so I think he's got a decent chance here today."

Ran well to be third for the Tim Vaughan team - one to look out for next time. Original quote: "Staunton - Big strong mare. Only second run for us - finished last of 4 on her first run for us in December, but we are 4lbs lower here and has come on a bit…

Well backed and a doubel on the day for the Gary Moore team. Original quote: "Age Of Wisdom - Won a very weak seller last time at Lingfield. Hoping getting his head in front there will give him a confidence boost. Looks a competitive race but should have a good chance."

Nice winner for Julia - top stuff and looks a nice sort for them. Original quote: "Oud Metha Bridge - As I said before his last run, this is a horse we like. He works very well at home and we were delighted with his first run for us when second here. This looks a…

A much better run from Mark's horse - looks one to note in that form. Original quote: "Dragonite hasn't run for a couple of months but is fresh and well in himself at home. He has never tried the surface at Kempton before, but we don't think it will be an issue for him. This…

A solid e/w run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "GOOD MAN HUGHIE won over hurdles here at Lingfield in similar going over a year ago. Moderate race and off his present mark GOOD MAN HUGHIE should figure. However, the horse is yet to give me encouragement over fences but I would have to give GOOD…

Top stuff from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Rouge Et Blanc - ran well in a hunter chase at Hereford on his most recent outing, it was a very competitive race and everything that finished in front of him has run well since. Rouge has been buzzing at home since then, he and Pippa really enjoyed…

Handled the ground very well and was a nice winner for the Moore team. Original quote: "Ar Mest: Ran very well last time at Huntingdon - has come out of that race very well. If handling the ground here today, should go close."

Another eye-catching winning run from Jamie's improving 6 year-old. Original quote: "Scorpion Sid - Won well on rules debut at Chepstow. He looked impressive that day and is built to defy a penalty. This look tougher with Oxwich Bay looking useful, but I couldn't be happier with our chap."
