Only just failed to get up. Original quote: "Greatest Journey - Only had two runs for us as a former Godolphin horse. Had it's issues but hoping we've got him back to somewhere near his best. Got chinned on the line last time here over 1m2f - that was back in March though. Drop back…

E/W money landed. Original quote: "Casey Banter: Seems to now be improving - she ran a great race here two runs back to be second on first try over the mile that day. Hopefully Silvestre will get to the race in time as he is flying in from Ffos Las. She should have a good…

A much better run from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Akkapenko - Winner on the flat in France but yet to translate that to hurdles. Has come on for his last race at Worcester after a few months off and we are 3lbs lower this time and also have a 7lb claimer on. Gary's horse is…

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Between The Waters - Is very consistent and always runs his race but is still a maiden and up another 4lbs for a good second last time out. With a bit of luck he'll have his day - hopefully it's today! Another with fair each-way claims though."

Only just failed to get up. Still e/w money landed. Original quote: "Stosur - No hiding place these days with this horse - this is her level and around this mark. This will be her 70th career outing and not without a small chance - but would have increased chance if the rain comes. Step…

Nice run from Daniel's horse. Original quote: "Nyala - Not been far away since going handicapping and should be involved again. Has just been a bit free in her races - the hood really switches her off at home."

Great call from Gary - gutsy front-running display. Original quote: "MR FICKLE struggled through last winter but to be fair he was always battling ground conditions. Ran a respectable third here back in June  on  quicker ground which appears to suit him so I hope to see solid each way claims Has been coming down…

Another top win for the Moore team. Original quote: "WEST DRIVE has some smart form on the flat so hoping that he can do the same over hurdles. Ran very well at Sandown four weeks ago and I think he will have come on for that run so should be as fit as I can…

Another easy win for Jamie's improving hurdler! Original quote: "Benefitted from a wind op when running well at Stratford before bolting-up over this course and distance last time out. He looks to have a good chance of defying his penalty here in a race that lacks depth."

Ran on well to land the e/w money and looks one to note for next time. Original quote: "Ran well a few starts ago at Southwell (2nd) but failed to follow that up last time at Uttoxeter after getting tired very quickly. We've given him 5 weeks off to freshen up and hoping the easier…

Another easy win for Gay's horse. Original quote: "Topmeup: Top winner for us last time out - won by an easy 3 lengths. Up in the ratings for that but has come out of that race very well and with the course to suit then every chance here with the step up to a mile…

Powered clear to win for the Appleby camp. Original quote: "Busy Street - Top-weight but that's because we are the highest-rated in the field. Only second career run for us but did ok on debut when third at Haydock. Same mark but this is a drop in grade this time so that should help see…

Top win from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Midnight Queen - Fell when in with a shout last time out but won well the time before that in a Point. Gets in here 3lbs out of the handicap and with only 10st so that is a big plus. None the worse for her fall last time…

Great front-running display from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Lord Topper - Won well last time out over hurdles here and has had a spin on the flat since. He's in good form at home and should have every chance again here, although he's up another 7lbs this time."

Top winner for Julia at a tasty 9/2!! Original quote: "Terri Rules - Unfortunately got very upset in the stalls on the last run due to the fire that was nearby at the track and spooked all the runners. She seems in good form and providing the race is run to suit her hold-up tactics…

Well back but ran on much better to take third. Original quote: "Star Gypsy - Has won a race but that came on soft ground at Wetherby - Has not really built on that but is 10lbs lower than opening handicap rating so that help. First-time blinkers are on here too but would like to…

No chance with the winner but an nice e/w return still. Original quote: "Debatable: Collide looks the one to beat - first run for us after coming over from Ireland but had two runs over there. Did okay in those races too and settled in well - this looks a good place to start her…

Much better run from Tim's horse - the drop in trip helped and one to look for next time based on this. Original quote: "Ran ok to be third last time out at Worcester on rules debut and on first run for us, but was way back that day. That was over 2m7f so we…

Tough front-running display from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Albert Boy - Ran okay to be fourth (of 9) last time at Leicester. Same mark but we have Theo riding and claiming 5lbs this time. Last win came off 58 so certainly looking well-handicapped of late. Likes to race up with the pace and that will…

Plugged on well to take third. Original quote: "Socialites Red - After a run of average runs has dropped back down to her last winning mark. Will also like the cut in the ground and returns to the scene of his last win. Needs to bounce back and more needed in this higer grade but…
