Only went down by two necks! Original quote: "Destinys Rock - Nice draw in 4 and we were delighted with the horse's win last time out here. Up 7lbs here but Megan can claims 5lbs instead of 3lbs that she claimed last time. In great order and another bold showing on the cards. Solid Each-way."

Great call from Dave at 25/1 - only went down a neck too! Original quote: "Ornate - Not quite done it for us yet since coming to us in the summer. Has shown bits and pieces of form but last two runs on the AW (4th both times) were encouraging. First run here on the…

The Crazed Moon - Won a poor race last Friday and hopefully we've found another. Escapes a penalty for that win too and Jason can still claim 7lbs (he claimed 10lbs last time) so only 3lbs worse off. Has come out of that race well and so another bold bid is on the cards.

Top call from James. Original quote: "Lord Getaway - Due to go up 5lbs over hurdles so makes sense to have a go today. Came out of his last race well. First run over this trip over hurdles but we feel it will suit. Tom claims a handy 7lbs too from the saddle so should…

Another winner on the day for Mick! Original quote: "Side Effect - Only 5 runners - looks one of my better chances on the day though. Down 3lbs from her last run when 5th at Lingfield but wasn't beaten far that day. A filly that will stay this step up to 1m and despite this…

Coped with the longer trip well. Original quote: "Constituent - Bit of a fact-finding mission here as we are upping in trip to 2m. Only had 4 career runs though so more to offer and we feel this longer trip is worth a crack. Visor on for the first time and not the best of…

Solid call from Gary. Original quote: "Thechildrenstrust - The horse is well. Think we've got a good chance here today - ran much better last time out when third at Kempton. Hopeful the surface will suit and hopefully the long trip up can pay off. Decent place claims."

Nice winner for Gay. Original quote: "Robero - In good heart at the moment and was a fair third here last time out over this trip. Same mark but we've a 7lb claimer on this time. Also putting the eyeshields on for the first time to help with the kickback - looks a fair race…

Each-way money landed. Original quote: "Cockney Boy - Amateur riders' race but we've the experienced Serena Brotherton riding so that helps. Trip, track and draw are all fine so should not be far away but a very open race so just each-way claims."

Improved effort from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Champagne Monday's Returned from a 50 day break to run a fair 6th of 10 here on Tuesday, just got tired in the closing stages - same mark here today so needs to take a step forward but that run has brought him on. Should get closer but…

Great call from Mick. Original quote: "Lads Order - Good winner on debut for the yard back in November here. Didn't disgrace next time here over 7f either when third - just getting tired in the closing stages. Drop back to 6f will suit so can go well but is 3lbs higher than last win…

Won this race for a second year in a row. Original quote: "Candesta - Won this race quite easily last year but he has not been in the same sort of form since and would need a revival to be seen in a better light here and may also need further these days."

Much better from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Boots And Spurs - Draw one a help and will also like the ease in grade. Not quite been firing of late but is 3lbs lower this time and Theo takes another 5lbs off. Drop in class and 8lbs lower should hopefully see him in the mix in…

Solid e/w run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "One More Chance - Course winner that is generally a consistent sort. She took a step forward last time when fourth (of 11) here over a mile. The drop back to 7f will be fine and we are 2lbs lower this time too. Kevin rides and claims…

Another nice TQ View winner for Jamie. Original quote: "Midnight Chill - Won well on his chasing debut last time out and up 3lbs here for that. In good order after that race and should hold a decent chance of going in again."

Top winner for Mick and the team. Original quote: "Dragon Beat - Fairly consistent sort that is well-drawn here today in stall 1. First run for the yard but has shown promise from her 5 runs to date Should have more to come and looks to have an each-way chance here in an open race."

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Eva's Oskar - an well for much of the way last time and performed better than a 150/1 shot that day. Only third run so more to come but a lot will depend on how the favourite performs as that looks the most likely winner. Each-way."

Gutsy win from Henry's horse. Original quote: "Darlyn - Trappy little race - ground and track are ideal but feel a 9lb rise for that last win was a tad harsh - we'll see. The Alan King horse will take some beating too but still hoping for a nice run with the slower ground only…

Great win for Mick's consistent sort. Original quote: "Michele Strogoff - Delighted he got his head back in front last time here - that came in a Claimer though so more needed back into a handicap but consistent horse that takes his racing well. Conditions fine, is fit and well so in this harder race…

Solid second from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Sheneededtherun - Third at Newcastle last time out but it was only a three-horse race - in fact it was one of the races Dawnie won. Has had a wind op since then and seems better for it but you can never really tell still they start racing…
