A very pleasing debut run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Dominateur - This will be his first race and he is owned by a new owner at Rhonehurst in Andrew Brooks. Dominateur, like a lot of his owners horses, he was purchased in France and he arrived here late last Autumn. A big horse who…

A step in the right direction from Olier's horse. Original quote: "Minella is a frustrating horse, he certainly has a lot of ability but throws races away by jumping poorly. We’ve done loads of schooling with him, even some show jumping with Yogi Breisner and Laura Collett and we can’t get him to make a…

Not much chance with the winner - but a horse to follow. Original quote: "Hirjan - Fourth run for us and more needed really on what we've seen. A bit better last time when third (of 6) at Wetherby so small place claims, but does look to have it to do."

Spot-on from Tim! Original quote: "Normandy King - Better than what he showed last time at Towcester - the softer ground will suit him more here and the horses are generally running better now. Down to a mark of 93 and in a race that seems to lack depth hopeful we head here with a…

Great win for Gary's improving 5 year-old. Original quote: "THE FLYING SOFA did not run so well here at Fontwell after a decent effort at Ascot in listed company. I like to think that the ground conditions and inexperience rather 'found him out' so I expect to see a better performance today on ground that…

One to look for next time - a nice first run back, but will improve for this. Original quote: "Robinsson has been a difficult horse to train, he’s had all sorts of problems - first run back for 675 days. He’s shown glimmers of ability but hasn’t managed any sort of continuity. Robinsson has done…

Great win from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Jersey Bean - After being second and then first in his bumpers Bean hasn’t exactly had much luck so far over hurdles. His first run was good, he finished third at Wetherby on pretty horrible ground. He then all but got brought down at the first at Fontwell…

Stayed on really well to land the money for the Dow team. Original quote: "Corazon Espinado - Probably still progressing and more aggressive tactics suited him last time when he got the run of the race at Kempton. Remains in good form and should go well again if handling conditions here and cannot be ruled…

Only just failed to get up - but e/w money landed. Original quote: "I hope there is pace in the race for BAN SHOOF today who I expect to run well after a short break from the track. There is possibly a well-handicapped horse PIVOTAL FLAME looking for a hat trick but I am pleased…

Ran on well to take third for the Sherwood team. Original quote: "Enjoy was impressive when winning first time out for us at Fakenham over this trip, he then didn’t get home over further at Bangor before running a bit lacklustre back at Fakenham in mid December. Some of my horses were running a bit…

Another solid run from Simon's 4 year-old. Original quote: "Mr Scaramanga - Generally consistent form here and ran well last time in slightly weaker event over 7f. This will suit him better though yet again drawn wide. In good form and dangerous to leave out at a big price."

Great call from Scu! Original quote: "Sheneededtherun - We get in here with a light weight and that goes without saying will help over this 3m trip. Ran ok last time, but really was booked for third until the leader ran out at the last fence. Is well after 3 weeks off though and the…

Great call from Jamie - and another TQ View winner. Original quote: "Kalahari Queen - Won her novice hurdle well and was second under a penalty the last day when she found Catterick a bit sharp. Trip and track should suit better today and as long as it's not dried out too much she should…

Top effort from Henry's horse. Original quote: "Love Lane - Ran well on rules debut last time at Towcester (4th of 7). Has improved at home, while the ground and track here will be fine. The three main runners in the race (top of the betting) would take a lot of beating though so just…

No chance with the winner, but a much better run from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Tilly Devine - Took a bit of a hold last time and we feel the tactics were not right so not seen to best effect. Worth another try at this distance and Kieran is back in the saddle. Hopeful of…

Only just missed out - but at 8/1 still a nice e/w return. Original quote: "Poyle Vinnie - We expected a bit better recently, but the return to Southwell is certainly a plus. Continues to drop down the ratings and we are now off a mark of 90, which looks very attractive as he's been…

Spot-on from Henry! Original quote: "Steps And Stairs: First run for us - was formerly with the Jonjo O'Neill yard. Has settled in well and this looks a good place to start him off in what doesn't look the best of races. Working well and had loads of work so we are really pleased with…

Great call from Scott. Original quote: "Best Tamayuz - Well out of the weights last time, so we can ignore that run. Remains well in himself though and a fine draw in 8. Loves the track and in an open race looks to have place claims."

A nice 2 length win for Simon's horse. Top stuff! Original quote: "Native Fighter - Ran well on both starts for us since arriving from Germany. This track should suit him better and likely to go well again if in the same form, looks to have a leading chance."

Almost landed the win - just got run out of it in the dying strides - but still collected the e/w return. Original quote: "Monbeg Theatre - Was a very progressive novice hurdler. He had a few injuries and didn't take to chasing but ran well to be a good second off this mark before…
