Another top winner for Henry and the team. Original quote: "Steps And Stairs - Only third run for us. Course and distance winner here that ran well at Bangor last time too (3rd). Has done well since and I think we've got a solid e/w chance here if ridden on the pace. "

Solid e/w run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Royalraise - Runs in a Hunters' Chase for the first time and should enjoy the ease in company. Fell at the first last time at Taunton but before that ran a excellent third in a Class Three Chase. Gina Andrews a great jockey booking for this sort…

Great shout from James - only went down a neck but e/w money landed. Original quote: "Lord Getaway - A nice type who has shaped well in his runs over the winter in some decent novice hurdles. Better ground now handicapping should help. Stays well and not short of toe so could be thereabouts at…

A much better run from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Cobajayisland - Pulled up the last twice but both came in soft/heavy ground. Will be a lot more at home on this quicker surface and we head here fresh after 3 months off. Is also back down to his last winning mark. Has won over this…

Another top win for Scu's old-timer. Original quote: "Skint Continues to defy his age (12) and won again last time at Huntingdon. Up 5lbs for that here but has had 5 weeks off to get over that race and seems in great order at home. Ground fine and still well-handicapped having won off 4lbs higher…

A few non-runners helped - but nice to see Gary's horse back winning. Original quote: "It has been tough for ANTONY to get back to winning ways after picking up a valuable handicap chase at Ascot a couple of seasons ago. Ground conditions this current season have not helped his chances either. Had a break…

Gutsy win from Jamie's horse from the front. Original quote: "Naranja - Won two earlier this season. She slightly disappointed going right-handed at Sandown and found Fontwell too tight the last day. She'll like the step up in trip on a more galloping left-handed track but this is a tough race. Still think she'll go…

Nice e/w return for Julia. Original quote: "Lulu Star - Is heading up to Newcastle for a race we hope she will be competitive in. She has had excuses in her two handicap runs so she will be much better suited by these conditions. We would hope she has a good each-way chance at a…

Great call from Jamie! Original quote: "Monbeg Theatre - Has been knocking on the door this season and running well without winning. He'll appreciate this step up in trip on drying ground and should have an each-way chance in a very competitive race - 24 runners at this stage!! Page, who claims 5lbs, gets the…

Nice run from Mick's horse - each-way money collected at 9/1. Original quote: "Qeyaadah - Returns from a 6 month break but has been doing plenty at home. Off a career-low handicap mark here too and should find this looks more his level at the moment. First run on at AW too but acts well…

Very easy win for Mark's horse - top stuff - one to watch next time too based on that! Original quote: "Tigerwolf was unlucky last time out as he didn't get any luck in-running. He has ran well for previous connections at Kempton so we are hopeful he can get involved tonight."

Stayed on powerfully for the Moore team and another nice TQ VIEW winner this month (12/1 into 13/2) Original quote: "TRAFFIC FLUIDE is a talented horse who seemed to lose his way after time out through a training setback. Winning at Plumpton recently, albeit over hurdles, has hopefully given TRAFFIC FLUIDE a confidence boost which…

Cracking call from Gary and the team at 40/1 Original quote: "DELL ORO is a lovely big horse whose running plans have been somewhat thwarted by the continuing bad weather. Hoping to get decent ground today at Cheltenham so DELL ORO can hopefully run an improved race. Probably will be competitive but I will be…

Another top run at Newmarket from Charlie's 9 year-old. Original quote: "Accession - Loves Newmarket and we are one of just 2 proven CD winners in the field. Loves the ground too and is in great form at home. Does have to win off a career-high mark though at the ripe old age of 9…

Did run into a place at a big price! Original quote: "Ambient - Been in good order on the AW but in a race like this will need more. Nicola takes off a handy 5lbs to help and at least we head here fit and well, with some of the others returning from a break.…

Solid e/w run from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Lady Alavesa - Another that returns from a break today - has had a nice break over the winter and returns in a much easier race than when we last saw her in a Class 2 Handicap. The big plus is she'll love the ground - was…

Great call from Tim. Original quote: "Bennachie - In good form at the moment at home and heads here fresh and well off a 4 month break. Yet to win over fences from 9 starts but has gone close a few times. Ground fine and looks a race we can go close in. Hoping for…

Ran well to be second and the e/w money landed. Original quote: "Laugharne - Nice horse that ran well to be 6th at Ascot on debut for the yard back in Feb. Has come out of that race well and with just 10-7 in weight then that will help in the ground. Hopeful of a…

Promising run from Mick's horse - one to watch next time out. Original quote: "Juan Horsepower - Second runner in the race for us. Drawn 10 so might have it all to do from there but another that is having his first run for the yard - was with Hannon before. Has settled in well…

Decent call from Scott - stayed on well to land the e/w money. Original quote: "Ran well on debut at Newcastle to finish 5th - beaten only 3 lengths. That looks like it will work out to be a nice race. She needed the run for fitness as much as anything and has come on…
