Stayed on powerfully to land the spoils for the Griffiths camp. Original quote: "Archimedes - Wasn't beaten far last time out at Ayr and we get in here 3lbs lower. Jim Crowley booked to ride and we are a proven course winner at the track. Doesn't look the best of races so every chance of…

Nice each-way run from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Our Three Sons - Has taken well to chasing and the step up in trip should help him. Course winner so that helps, but high enough in the handicap but will run his race. Page rides and takes off 5lbs - should go well, but bit to…

A much better run from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Carntop was a very decent flat horse. He struggled in a Grade 2 on hurdling debut but his wind wasn't great. Therefore, we've since done his wind and he is in great form at home. Looking forward to seeing him back on the track."

Top winner for Mick and another TQ View success too. Original quote: "The Great Wall - Delighted with his run last time at York when a very close second. Took a bit of a hold that day so the drop back to 6f will suit and a 4lb rise looks just about fair for that…

Nice run from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Topmeup: Ran ok when fourth - only beaten 2 1/2 lengths - behind another of ours last time at Lingfield. That was only her second run back after a break so will be much better for it. 2lbs lower this time and Luke Morris takes over in the…

Solid run back from Julia's horse - one to watch. Original quote: "Amelia George - Was in training with us as a 3/4 year-old when she was very weak. She had two runs but the owner retired her to the British Racing School where she has been for four years. However, she was evicted as…

Nice run from Mark's horse - but they still gave you the winner. Original quote: "Alkashaaf ran well enough in this grade last time out and we are hopeful that we can run another good race today, although he is not the most consistent of horses so we might just struggle to reverse the form…

Nice run from Mick's horse - looks one to follow. Original quote: "Loch Ness Monster - Nice well-bred colt that shows plenty of pace at home. Expected to be a horse to note going forward but this is first run on the track today in what looks a fairly hot race. Blown By Wind and…

Solid run from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Our Reward - Has been very hit and miss this season so you can't set your clock by him but he's very well handicapped should he consent to put his best foot forward. New headgear and quirky track should help him and if so then he'd have a…

Solid run from Charlie's top staying horse. Original quote: "Prince Of Arran - Is technically well-in and is in great form at home. He will love the lay-out of the track and the style of the race - however, two things concern me. We are drawn out wide (17) and the surface seems to be…

Stayed on really well to land this for Gay at 33/1!! Original quote: "Big ask in a race like this but a nice prize so worth a crack. Is better for a recent run at Kempton (8th of 13) and has run ok at the track before. Better expected than last time but would be…

Nice debut run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Aquarius - Been doing well at home for this debut run but likely to learn a lot from today. Also got the hood on first time as been a bit keen at home and may want further in time. A likeable 2 year-old but like a lot…

Spot on from Charlie and another easy TQ View win this week. Original quote: "Escalator - Was impressive at Doncaster and seems to have taken that race well. He is well-in this evening and should take plenty of beating again."

Top call and an nice TQ View winner for Jane! Original quote: "Is a well-bred gelding that I really like but it's a hot maiden but luckily it's just up the road so not far to travel! I expect him to run in the top three so looks a fair e/w option."

Cracking run from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Lawmaking - Hoping the first-time visor helps here but not shown a great deal so far for us. On a plus is looking better handicapped and draw 4 is good. Really we'd just be delighted with a step in the right direction."

A much better run than expected from Harry's horse. Original quote: "Ballet Red: First day on the track today - a nice filly that is bred to go well. Goes well at home but the hood is on today to keep her focused - but like most of mine on debut will learn a lot…

Another gutsy win from Jamie's improving hurdler. Original quote: "Double Treasure - Was highly progressive over fences in the autumn and resumed winning ways with an authoritative victory over hurdles earlier this month at Fontwell. Must give weight away today to a couple of useful types but he's a big strong horse and is officially…

Great call from Tim. Original quote: "Presenting Berkley - Dropped in grade here and also down 4lbs from his last run. Will be much more at home on this quick ground too. Only 10-7 to carry, while we are trying him in the first-time tongue-tie today as we think that will help with his breathing.…

Nice run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Carthage - A bit to find with some of these at the weights for this Seller but these races don't always work out that way. Top jockey in Serena Brotherton booked too and despite being hard to win (1 win from 24) with this looks a poor race…

Landed the e/w money for Scu and the team. Original quote: "Northern Beau - Looks my better chance on the day. We were really pleased with her last run, when third at Fakenham but has had a wind op since and has come out of that really well. Drop back to 2m should be fine…
