A great win for this 12 year-old. Original quote: "Skint - Ran well last time to be second at Southwell. Trip, ground and track all fine and gets in here off the same mark. 12 years-old now but still showing up well at home. Seems to have come on for that run and hoping for…

Only just got pipped on the line - but Mark gave us the winner and e/w money still landed. Original quote: "Dream Magic: Return to Wolverhampton a plus - won here two starts ago. 5lbs higher here but remains in decent order at home and looks a good each-way option in the race outside the…

Ran the hot favourite to just a neck but e/w money landed. Original quote: "Classic Pursuit - Facing some in-form rivals here so might have to settle for a place at best as with 10-0 and being rated lower than some of these in the race then a bit to find at the weights. The…

Got the better of the hot favourite for the Dixon team. Original quote: "Samovar: Consistent and likes the track - yet to win from 8 runs but has hit the crossbar several times. 5f here is ideal and hoping to go well but goes without saying Warriors Valley is the form horse and might be…

Plugged on well at 10/1 for the Dixon camp. Original quote: "Tilly Devine - Second runner in the race for us. Ran well here over this trip two starts ago and gets in off the same mark. 3lb claimer on today though so that helps and acts on the surface (course winner). Ochos Rios and…

Great winner for Mick. Original quote: "Di's Gift - Fifth run for us and has run better the last twice. Acts on the surface and stays further than this. Well-raced (25 runs) but only had 4 AW runs so more to come. Kevin gets on well with him and takes off 5lbs again. Ochos Rios…

Top call at 20/1 from Mick. Original quote: "Raakid - Our second runner in the race. Rated 4lbs higher than Cockney Boy and Kevin also claims 5lbs so really on the book should be finishing ahead of CB. Still a bit to find on these terms with 1 or two but still only had 3…

Ran a cracker under 11-5 to take second for Jamie and the team. Original quote: "Lostnfound - Won her novice well but got done for speed under a penalty over 2m last time out. The step up in trip is a plus and she looks to have a decent chance of upsetting the favourite if…

An easy win for Gary's horse. Original quote: "Larry: Only runner in the race for us now. Sets a fair standard and as long as he can cope with the ground, should have every chance of breaking his duck as it looks like we've just got one to beat. "

A decent performance under 11-7lbs from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Pete finally got his head in front for the first time at Towcester last time out when dropped back in trip on heavy ground, he's a consistent horse and only once finished out of the first three. He's got further in his race in the…

Nice win on debut for Mick's horse. Original quote: "Sputnik Planum - First run for us after coming from the David Lanigan yard. Still finding our feet with him so we'll learn a lot more after this. Has been running over further so we'll try and make use of his stamina but seems a fair…

Finall got it's head in front for Mick. Original quote: "Kafoo - We've probably got one of the more experienced riders here so that helps in this apprentice race. Draw 10 is not ideal though and although the horse is looking well-handicapped he's now 15 runs without a win."

Great win for Mick and the team. Original quote: "Big Country: Did great last season for us - returns here in the Lincoln Trial after 4 1/2 months off. Has been doing plenty at home and is actually 2-from-2 on the AW - both here at Wolverhampton. Only negative is the draw in 10, but…

Spot on from Gary   Original quote: "ERAGON DE CHANAY has been freshened up with this race in mind for some time. There are a couple of horses closely matched with mine but ERAGON DE CHANAY has been running in smart company so this race may be slightly easier for him today but he is…

Stayed on really well to take 2nd. Original quote: "Rouge Et Blanc - This race is over two miles, which is unusual for a Hunter Chase, he has won over this trip and will love the heavy ground so let’s hope he and Pippa can continue enjoying their racing together. The stiff track should help…

Top call from Gary. Original quote: "Darebin - A track he usually runs his best races at. A bit below-par of late but we are hoping the return to Sandown will help and we are 5lbs lower than when running a decent third here in December. Must have a definite chance with only three runners…

E/W money landed. Original quote: "Midnight Monty - Was a decent second on debut for us and stepped up on that performance when runner-up in the Royal Artillery Gold Cup here 3 weeks ago. This is the race we've been aiming at since and he is fit and well. On the ratings he has a…

One to look out for - ran on well to take third and the TQ View e/w money. Original quote: "Fight Commander - We've had a few niggly problems this season with him, but he's in good form at home and has been working and schooling well. We are hopeful of a good run with…

Battled on well to take this for Scu and the team. Original quote: "Two Smokin Barrels: Only just failed last time at Leicester - went down fighting by a neck. Same mark here so every chance again. Longer trip is fine - has won over this distance and will love the ground. Tight race with…

Another gutsy win from this 11 year-old! Original quote: "No hiding place for The Lock Master these days - 11 years-old and having his 139th run! These races don't always pan out as the weights suggest and loves the track so you never know with him, but really off a mark of 53 and carrying…
