One to look for next time. Original quote: "Voila Eric - Had a few issues but delighted to get him back on track. Goes without saying he'll improve for the run and may have wanted softer ground but hopefully the horse can kick on from here."

Only got run out of things in the closing stages. Original quote: "Lord Fendale - Consistent sort and it should be more of the same here. Returned earlier this month to run a decent third at Newton Abbot but that was only a Selling Handicap Hurdle. Conor Brace also rode him that day and continues…

Promising effort from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Cap St Vincent - One of two in the race for us - both looks to have similar chances. This 5 year-old was last seen back in May so no matter what will improve for the run here (155 day break). Is fit and ready to run though…

Great call from Tim and a 1-3 in the race too! Original quote: "Chozen - Another that returns from a break but is fit and well. Top-weight of 12-0 makes life hard and may have likes softer ground but should be okay on that score. Chasing debut here too but schooling well. Probably not the…

Another decent effort from Dave's horse. Original quote: "Fieldsman - Been running really well of late and ran a cracker under a penalty last time (4th). Track is no issue and has come out of that race well. Tom is riding well at the moment too so a plus in the saddle - confident of…

Great shout from Mick. Original quote: "Gibeno - Plenty to prove at the moment but has had a few excuses the last twice. The drop back to 7f will help and he's also 3lb lower than last time. We are also putting the visor on for the first time and this looks his level at…

Solid run from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Robero - Has won twice on the AW and ran ok here last time out over a mile - just got a bit tired in the closing stages so the drop back to 7f is a plus. We are also down 2lbs this time and Josie Gordon takes…

A fast-finishing second and looks one to follow from the Mick Appleby yard. Original quote: "Sheldon Cooper - First run for the yard after coming over from Ireland. Has been running in hurdles and flat races over there but we are starting him off on the AW. Hard to assess the Irish form but has…

Got closer - as Mick said - but he still gave us the winner too! Original quote: "Whenapoet - We've 11 lengths to find with So Hi Storm, who beat us last time so it's not going to be easy. Step up to a mile will suit us though and we've a fair weight pull…

A much better run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Reveleon - Hasn't built on his debut win for the yard -5 runs ago - and needs to bounce back from a very poor run last time. The better ground here will help and didn't seem to handle the Bath track that well last time. The…

Another solid run from Daniel's horse. Original quote: "Outrage - Won nicely last time out at Newcastle and was beaten just a head the time before over course and distance. This is slightly tougher but should remain competitive."

Great call from Julia. Original quote: "Boxatricks - Put in a much-improved performance at Wolverhampton last time but threw the race away by hanging right - we hope by running here at Kempton, and going right handed, will suit him better. He has been working well at home and we hope he have an each-way…

No chance with the easy winner but ran on well to suggest there's a race in him soon. Original quote: "Take Em Out - Tough ask to beat the hot favourite but a small chance of filling a place if the Pipe and O'Brien horses run below-par. Fast ground is fine for him and back…

Stayed the new trip well and landed the three-timer in the process! Original quote: "Royal Hall - First time over the distance but we think he will stay which should give him a reasonable chance. Remains on the upgrade and has been running well on the flat recently too. Ground is suitable so each-way chance…

Big-priced winner for Mick. Original quote: "Zapper Cass: Into a claimer here - off top-weight though so we are helping on that front with Mark taking off 7lbs. Others are still rated higher than us though and we have to give them weight so looks to be a tall ask. Dire race though helps and…

Another good run from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Risk And Co - Has the second best piece of form here and should certainly run his race again and won't be far away - but might be vulnerable to a decent newcomer."

Solid run from Tim's horse - one to look for next time. Original quote: "Spectator - Is in great order at home and well after a few months off. The horses continue to go well in general and looks on a fair mark. All the race conditions will be fine too so we feel we…

Solid run and looks a horse to note. Original quote: "Len Brennan - First time over hurdles here today - lightly-raced so will be more to come and the longer trip will suit. Be delighted with a clear round and an improved run to give us something to work with but the Skelton horse might…

Looks a horse to follow from the Jamie Snowden camp. Original quote: "Thomas Macdonagh - Is a lovely type. He goes well and could well be decent. This looks a competitive race but he's likely over-priced and should out-run his odds."

Placed again for Mark's horse. Original quote: "Lord Murphy - Hard horse to win with (1 from 23) but often never far away in his races. Solid performer that ran well two days ago here to be third. Has come out of that race well - Same mark, trip and grade so no reason why…
