The visor did the trick! Original quote: "Billy Booth - First run on an AW surface so that gives us some hope for improvement. Needs to put a poor recent run behind him but the return to 5f (from 6f) will help. Drawn well in 3 too and trying the first-time visor on today. Hopeful…

Another decent e/w run from Mark's horse. Original quote: "We need to draw a line for Lord Murphy's run at Newcastle, as he just didn't seem to enjoy conditions there. He is back at the track of his previous 3 wins and if he can reproduce his run on his penultimate start then he should…

Solid e/w run from Harry's horse. Original quote: "Pact Of Steel - Ran well to be third last time out here over this trip. We are 2lbs lower this time and despite this looking a slightly more competitive race if running to that level again then must have an e/w chance with draw 6 fine.…

Great call from Michael. Original quote: "Cobajayisland - Returned after a 3 month break to run well (3rd) at Southwell last time. That was over 2m4f, which is a bit on the short side, so the step up to 3m2f will suit. Has won off this mark over 3m before but a horse that's had…

Jumped superbly to take this for the Tim Vaughan yard and follow-up it's recent win. Original quote: "Tara Mac - It was nice to see Tara back winning last time when getting up by a neck to win at Newcastle. Only a pound higher here and up in grade so a bit more needed, plus…

Looks a nice prospect for Oliver and the team. Original quote: "Mr Dorrell Sage ran well up to a point on his first start for us in a bumper back in February - he travelled nicely into the race that day and at one point looked as if he had to be involved before coming…

Easy win for Charlie's horse. Original quote: "Feathery - Went so close at Nottingham last week and backs-up that run quickly here today. She seems to have come out of that race well and the track will suit. One question mark would be the quick ground though but hopeful of a decent run."

Led home a TQ 1-2 in the race at 10/1. Original quote: "Roundabout Magic - Regular Lingfield winner on the all weather and has run just well enough here before. Stronger this term and settled, so no surprise if he goes well at a price in this small field (just 4 runners)."

Ran on well to land third and the e/w money. Original quote: "HOLLYWOOD ROAD has been off the track a while and comes here fresh and well hence the removal of blinkers for his first run for me today at Windsor. I hope to see a good run from him and with a competent claimer…

Spot-on call from Oliver and even gave you the 2nd and 3rd! Original quote: "Shaun has finished second in both of his bumpers so far and despite being very green in both races he's a fair sort and there is a lot of improvement to come from him - especially once the penny drops. Since…

Stayed on really well to take this for Jane. Original quote: "Amourice - Consistent sort that despite not winning yet has been hitting the crossbar. Will also love being back on the grass and gets this 1m4f trip well. Look to have the Kirby horse to beat but we head here hopeful of a good…

Another nice winner for the in-form Julia Feilden camp. Original quote: "Terri Rules - Has done well for her break and ran well last time but was a bit keen over 6f so the drop down to 5f on a stiff track should suit her better. Only 6 runners but we hope she will be…

Made a bold bid from the front and despite well beaten at the line stayed on really well to take third at 50/1! Original quote: "Amaranth - The front three in the market set a fair standard so really we'll be just looking for an improved effort here. Likes to lead and has a fair…

Nice win on debut for Mick - looks a horse to follow. Original quote: "Tan - Another horse that makes his debut for us after coming from the Tony Coyle yard. Not had the horse long and returns from a 154 day break so we'll find out more after this. Looks well-handicapped though off 57…

Nice winner for Scott and the team at 16/1. Original quote: "Thundercloud - Yet to win but has only had six races. On a career-low handicap mark of 51 and that should see her more competitive. Has done well during her 4 months off and nice to get her back on the turf. Actually making…

Another top winner this week for Julia. Original quote: "Limerick Lord - Ran well at Brighton last week but he does seem to come alive at Southwell and has been in cracking form there lately. He is better than his rating but things need to go his way - hopefully he has a good each-way…

An easy win for the in-form Gay Kelleway camp and another TQ View success too. Original quote: "Robsdelight - A horse we like a lot and has made a good start to his career with some solid place efforts in much better races. SDS takes over in the saddle and this looks a very winnable…

Great call from Gay. Original quote: "Crystal Deauville - Has improved a lot for it's recent run - first run back for a while. 2lbs lower here too and I think he'll put in a much better display today. Shame only 6 runners as just 2 places up for grabs but with Shane Kelly riding…

Only just failed to get up - still a great run at 10/1 from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Shortbackandsides - Bit of a fact-finding mission here today as first run on the turf. This stiffer 6f will suit though and hopeful he'll be ok on the soft. You can never really tell until in a…

Stayed on well to land the e/w money - looks one to follow next time. Original quote: "Michele Strogoff - Returns from a 5 month break here and if also having his first run for us. Mark of 75 looks workable based on old form and has gone well with cut before. Tough race though…
