Landed the e/w money at 10/1. Original quote: "Jonnysimpson - Top jockey booked in Oisin Murphy and the horse is well after a few months out. Will go forward from stall 7 and be up there on the pace. Last win came off just 2lbs higher but did it well that day at Kempton last…

No chance with the winner but a solid run back - one to note. Original quote: "Might be a tough ask to get the better of the Hills and Guest horses here. We return from around 4 months off the track so likely to need the run and the horse is also running in the…

Nice 3-star winner for Mick! Original quote: "Jackpot Royale - Yet to win a race (7 runs) but has run with credit each time this season for us. Wasn't beaten far in a better race last time at HQ, but dropped a pound here and the ease in grade will also help here. The horse…

Ran on well to land the place money at 8/1. Original quote: "Medici Moon - Second runner in the race for us. Won twice on the AW before but both those victories came at Southwell. Back to last winning mark and so with Theo's 7lb claim that gives us a decent squeak of running a…

Each-way money landed. Original quote: "Art Of Swing - Disappointing last time on ground which didn't suit. Back on the AW surface today which hopefully will produce a better run."

A welcome winner for Mark and the team after a string of placed efforts. Original quote: "Onefootinfront has been running very well since stepped up to the 1m4f distance, so we think the additional 2 furlongs today will suit him. Oisin Murphy is riding him again and he ran well at Wolverhampton earlier in the…

Went down by just a neck. Original quote: "Lord Fendale - Returned last time with a fair 5th of 10 at Uttoxeter. Has come on for that effort and the step up in trip here will help. We are dropped another 3lbs too and this doesn't look a great race. The horses are certainly running…

Great winner for Jamie. Original quote: "Lord Topper - Has been pretty consistent since his last win and is now looking like he's on the right sort of mark to win again. Not the strongest of races for the class and although competitive I'd like to think he's a great chance here with a change…

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…
