Plugged on well to take second. Original quote: "Pour L'Amour - Unfortunately there doesn't look to be much pace in the race today, which won't suit Pour L'Amour as she does prefer a good gallop to aim at. With it being an apprentice race anything can happen though, so we will have to rely on…

Got the breaks at the right time - a great win for Scott. Original quote: "Sans Souci Bay - Won a charity race at Donny last time out so heads here in form and full of confidence. However, draw 8 is going to make life hard. Will need a lot of luck in-running from there…

Top call from Scu at 9/1. Original quote: "Dinsdale - Ran well for a long way last time - just not seeing out the extra trip. Back to 2 miles here and Richard Johnston riding a plus. Well-handicapped on old form and should have a good chance today."

Great call from Mick. Original quote: "Classic Pursuit - Still paying the price of winning easily at Nottingham last October. Got raised a fair bit for that easy win that came on soft ground and has struggled a bit since. Now 12 races since that victory without a success but the plus is we've dropped…

Stayed on powerfully to take this for Harry. Original quote: "Flight Of Fantasy - Did well on her return run back in May but has certainly come on for that. Have taken our time with her but seems to run better fresh. Conditions look ideal and as long as she can settle well in front…

Great 33/1 winner for Jane. Original quote: "Naval Intelligence - Big step up today for this horse as we are into a Listed contest at HQ. Having said that the horse has trained well with Circus Couture (3rd in the Hunt Cup for us), who is rated 107 so I think an each-way shot here…

No chance with the winner but a very encouraging debut run for Gay's horse. Original quote: "Scale Force: First day at school today and SDS a plus in the saddle. Goes well enough at home but will learn a lot from this and might also just need the run."

Gave you the winner but the step up in trip helped - nice 25/1 return for Tim! Original quote: "Clearance: Only third run for us - much better last time when 5th of 12 here so if building on that then looking for another step forward. Kept on well that day but was a little…

Easy win for Mick's horse - looks one to follow. Original quote: "Fantasy Keeper: Open race - first run back from a break but has won fresh in the past and is ready to run. Been gelded since that last outing back in November too so had time to get over that but has been…

Solid run from Harry's horse. Original quote: "Roman Warrior - Three runs under his belt so can no run in a handicap. Should see him in a much better light now he's got a mark and the step up to 1m will help. Drawn ok in 5 and with his last run coming off a…

Nice to see the old-boy back winning. Original quote: "Brigadoon - Been a bit off the boil so far this season. Not getting any younger at 11 but till shows us enough at home to suggest there are races to be won with him. Dropping to a very attractive mark though and Finley's 5lb claim…

Top effort from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Topmeup - Probably got Gainsay to beat but we were delighted with our horses improved second last time out here last week. Only went down 3/4 of a length that day and gets in off the same mark. Up in grade slightly this time though, but track and…

Solid each-way run from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Cautorillo - Has shown some form in bumpers and should be able to win a small handicap. Found 2m too sharp last time and should run a better race here but might be open to a classier rival - that's my only fear."

Ran a funny race - but got the job done in the end! Original quote: "Eric The Third - Won well at Newton Abbot in June over fences and was only just run out of it here over hurdles last time out. Made most of the running that day and was unlucky to get chinned…

Cracking run from Julia's horse. Original quote: "Pitch High - Is best on a soft turf surface but that's obviously not around at the moment so he's back on the AW. The wide draw shouldn't be too much of a problem as he likes his own space and I hope he can run into a…

Solid each-way run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Iballisticvin: Ran quite well last time - didn't quite get the tactics right. Hopefully with a more experienced rider on board and the drop in weights he should have every chance."

Great winner for Simon and the team. Original quote: "El Borracho - Been running well enough all Summer and should find his handicap any moment. Stable out of form but have a chance of getting involved here if it all plays out right for him."

Great winner for Mick. Original quote: "Eponina - Only second career run for us (was with Ben Haslam) - down the field last time at Nottingham but we think she just found things happening a bit too quick for her there. Stepping up to a mile for the first time but has gone well over…

Nice 33/1 e/w call for Mick. Original quote: "Toy Theatre - Likes the track here and we are a past course and distance winner. Had a small break (44 days) to get over that last run but down a few pounds in the ratings and also a lower grade this time should help. Very open…

A much better run from Julia's horse. Original quote: "Casey Banter - Is stepping up from 6f which we think should suit. She has a low draw (1) so should have the speed to be prominent - we hope she can run well so that she doesn't go down in the handicap anymore!"
