No chance with the winner but stayed on well to take the place money. Original quote: "Sellingallthetime - Loves this place and ran well to be third here last time out. Same mark and trip but is up a grade so will need a bit more. Theo's 5lb claim will help and the fact he…

Solid e/w run at 33/1! Original quote: "Isango - Ran well at Windsor on debut over an inadequate trip (5th of 11). This will be more suitable today and she should like the track. Hopefully she can take a step forward."

No chance with the hot favourite but a very encouraging run from Daniel's horse. Original quote: "Fronsac - Should improve from first run but the favourite looks to set a pretty useful standard."

Held on well for third. Original quote: "Glorious Poet ran well in Kempton last time out and has good form on soft going, so the return to turf shouldn't be a problem. He is in good form and travelled up to Ayr overnight, so providing the journey hasn't taken too much out of him then…

Top call from Jane and a nice 17/2 TQ View winner too! Original quote: "Uber Cool - Last seen running in the Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot so has had a nice break. I'm looking forward to seeing him out today as last time the trip (2m5f) just stretched him. Back to 1m6f here will…

Solid e/w call from Harry. Original quote: "Golden Image - Stays further than this 1m2f trip so that will help with the stiff finish. Ground is fine too with only win coming on a quick surface but a small bit to find as that came off a 5lb lower rating. Gone the right way since…

Shrewd bit of placing by Mick - another easy win and one to look for again next time. Original quote: "Saaheq - Won with a bit more in-hand than the official 1 length margin - very pleasing debut run and should be a lot more to come. Has come out of that race well and…

Landed the e/w money. Original quote: "Case Key - Popular grey at the yard that rarely runs a bad race. Acts well on most ground too and heads here off the back of a fair 4th at Thirsk last time. The ease in grade will help and we are well drawn in stall 1. Has…

Ran another solid race. Original quote: "Albert Boy - Ran well in defeat and lost front shoe during the race last time. Well at home and holds a fair chance here today."

Top win for Mark's horse. Original quote: "Harbour Approach - A close third last time out at Carlisle - gets in off the same mark here and running at the same level. Yet to win a race but only had 7 career starts. Based on what we've seen so far should be going close in…

Great shout from Harry. Original quote: "Looking For Carl - Probably my best chance on the day of getting something - but that might still only be a place. Not been out for 3-4 months but is ready to run again. Upped to 1m4f from 1m here will help as we've always thought he's a…

Place money landed. Original quote: "Global Wonder - Been second a bundle of times this season so deserves to get his head in front. Dropping back to a mile helps too but the draw (12) is going to make life hard. Will need a bit of luck from there but in this sort of race…

Another solid e/w run from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Crystal Deauville - Been on the go a lot this season so we'll have to see if he's had enough after this. Had a few weeks off though to try and freshen him up a bit and is a past course winner at the track. Draw…

Another top each-way effort from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Withoutdefavourite - Looks a very open race. Did run much better here last time out though when a close second over this course and distance. Same grade and only 2lbs higher suggests a similar run will see us go well again. Only 10-4 to carry also…

Stayed on well to land the e/w money. Original quote: "Chitra - Looks to have a solid chance of following up her recent win off 3lbs higher in what looks a slightly deeper race."

Stayed on well to take third and the place money. Original quote: "ROYAL HALL just couldn't get past BRIGHT SAFFRON when last seen on the flat (Aug), but this 2 furlong longer trip today is far more suitable. The Mile and a half at Brighton on quick going proved ROYAL HALL'S undoing when runner-up over…

No chance with the winner - but a solid each-way run and plenty to build on. Original quote: "CLARA PEETERS is another having her first run of the season that is best-watched on her debut run. Ground conditions have rather messed us around with running plans, but CLARA PEETERS is certainly forward enough now for…

Gutsy run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Busy Street - Nice winner for us two starts ago at Yarmouth but was put up 7lbs for that and despite running a fine second failed to follow-up. That did, however, come in a higher graded race so was still a decent run. Into a Classified race this…

Plugged on well to take third. Original quote: "Nananita is a very genuine filly and has not really done anything wrong on any of her starts. She didn't get the best run round at Wolverhampton last time out and still ran on for third. This should be a fairer track and with Kieran O'Neill on…

Top ride from Mark's strong finisher. Original quote: "Big Lachie ran a fabulous race in Ascot last Friday and continues to hold his form. We still believe that he is better over a stiff 5f, so today's trip will test him again but if they go off fast in front then it will suit us…
