Nice effort from Charlie's horse. Original quote: "Ran well the other day at Nottingham in a race that wasn't really run to suit. This will be much more up his street today and has a good draw."

Impressive from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Recuerdame - Steady progress in novice events over 6f including here last time, step up in trip should suit and entitled to go well now in nurseries in a small field."

Great win from the old boy!! Original quote: "Good Luck Charm - Still going at 9 years-old. CD winner that loves this place. More needed based on recent below-par runs, but luckily the rain has come in time which hopefully should bring some improvement in him."

Another solid run at the track this week from Mark's horse. Original quote: "Big Lachie ran over the 5f trip at Brighton yesterday and posted another solid 2nd to add to his tally of placed efforts!! Like our other runner, he appears to have come out of his race well and is in good form…

Top winner for Julia and the team. Original quote: "Casey Banter - Ran well over 1m at Chelmsford last time out. Back on turf here in a weak race but she is probably better suited by the AW. Only 6 runners, but each-way chance. Josie Gordon rides."

No chance with the winner - but a step back in the right direction. Original quote: "WHINGING WILLIE has run well at Brighton in the past winning a few races here but been struggling this year with some poor recent efforts. I would have to say best watched today as I would just be grateful…

Deserved win for Mark's horse. Original quote: "Seaforth was disappointing on his last run, after a solid run first time out for our yard, He returns to selling company today and it doesn't look the strongest of races but unfortunately Seaforth is still a 25 race maiden and therefore it is hard to have any…

Another solid run from Gay's sprinter. Original quote: "Global Rose - Has been knocking on the door of late - coming second the last three times. Trying the cheekpieces for the first time as they seem to work at home. A pound lower than when second here last time and William continues in the saddle.…

Landed the each-way money for Mark and the team. Original quote: "Big Lachie has been ultra consistent all summer and had a solid run at the track last month, so we know conditions will suit today. Although there are only 5 runners it is a trappy little race and you could make a case for…

Solid each-way run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Native Fighter - Good form here earlier in the year though slightly flat last time. Back down in grade and had a short break so could well get back to near his best and seems in great shape."

Landed the three-timer for Mick. Original quote: "Classic Pursuit: On a real roll - heads here on a three-timer. Hoping these quick races won't take their toll but seems to be taking his racing well and loving life at the moment. Up 6lbs for last win but did it very well to suggest he can…

Looks a fair recruit for the yard. Original quote: "This is KING ATHELSTAN'S first run for me and I am hoping that there may be some improvement to give him place claims today in this 46-55 rated race. The trip may just be far enough though so that would be the worry."

Another solid run at Brighton from Mark's horse. Original quote: "Tigerwolf is having his first run back after a short break so might come on a little from the run today. He does like the course and will have a bit more time to settle into his race today with it being over a mile…

Looks a nice recruit for the Appleby yard. Original quote: "Reveleon - Silvestre an obvious plus in the saddle. First run for us after coming from the Stoute yard and despite not winning (6 races) had run some creditable races. Not had the horse long so we'll find out a bit here but has settled…

Nice double on the day for Charlie and the team. Original quote: "Jeremiah - Is a horse I rate very highly but he came back from Ascot sick. If he is back to his best then he could take some beating as the track and ground are ideal. He has certainly for the speed to…

Top shout from Charlie. Original quote: "Crimson Rosette - Has done nothing wrong so far this year and brings the best form into the race. If she produces her last two runs she will go close. We are leaving the hood off here as I would like to sharpen her up a bit - but…

Solid second from Mark's horse. Original quote: "Lord Murphy ran very well on turf last time out and handled the fast ground, so conditions should be ok for him and if he can reproduce that run then he should be able to get involved again today. The favourite won very easily last time out, so…

Unlucky not to get closer after getting hampered but still a horse to note for next time. Original quote: "Purple Rock - Only second career run so we are still learning about the horse. Shown enough to think he will win races like this but just feel trip might be a tad on the sharp…

Great call from Gary. Original quote: "Spring Praise - First start for me and I hope he can build on his recent third place after wind surgery whilst at his previous stable. Seems straightforward enough at home so lets hope he puts in a big effort today."

Top run from Dave's old boy!! Original quote: "Take Cover - Has won this race a few times in the past - still going strong at 11 and in really good order at home. Working well and as we know loves the track. Andrea Atzeni rides so a top jockey booked as we all know…
