Ran a blinder for the Sherwood team and only got chinned on the line - one to look for next time. Original quote: "Road To Rome ran ok on his first run for us at Wetherby over hurdles before putting in a disappointing show at Huntingdon, he ran a nothing sort of race and as…

Much better from Rayvin - a top front-running dispaly from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Rayvin was being a bit of a plonker at the start of his last race when nearly depositing Tom as the tapes went up, he then did get rid of him at the first fence. He jumped pretty nearly every fence…

Stayed on really well to take this. Original quote: "Dark Alliance was very unlucky not to win last time out, but just got no luck in-running and ended up running on well to take 3rd. The horse remains in cracking form at home and Eddie Greatrex knows him well, so our only unknown is taking…

Just got chinned on the line - but another solid e/w effort. Original quote: "Something Lucky - Has done really well since joining us - winning three of his last 5 and placed in his last 6. Same mark as last time, but 8lbs higher than last win, but being a course winner here and…

Followed-up it's recent Catterick win very well here. Original quote: "Dresden - Is in great order and won well at Catterick lasst time out. I think he'll cope with the softer/heavier ground over this shorter trip. Track also fine so I think he's got a decent chance here today."

Ran well to be third for the Tim Vaughan team - one to look out for next time. Original quote: "Staunton - Big strong mare. Only second run for us - finished last of 4 on her first run for us in December, but we are 4lbs lower here and has come on a bit…

Well backed and a doubel on the day for the Gary Moore team. Original quote: "Age Of Wisdom - Won a very weak seller last time at Lingfield. Hoping getting his head in front there will give him a confidence boost. Looks a competitive race but should have a good chance."

Nice winner for Julia - top stuff and looks a nice sort for them. Original quote: "Oud Metha Bridge - As I said before his last run, this is a horse we like. He works very well at home and we were delighted with his first run for us when second here. This looks a…

A much better run from Mark's horse - looks one to note in that form. Original quote: "Dragonite hasn't run for a couple of months but is fresh and well in himself at home. He has never tried the surface at Kempton before, but we don't think it will be an issue for him. This…

A solid e/w run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "GOOD MAN HUGHIE won over hurdles here at Lingfield in similar going over a year ago. Moderate race and off his present mark GOOD MAN HUGHIE should figure. However, the horse is yet to give me encouragement over fences but I would have to give GOOD…

Top stuff from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Rouge Et Blanc - ran well in a hunter chase at Hereford on his most recent outing, it was a very competitive race and everything that finished in front of him has run well since. Rouge has been buzzing at home since then, he and Pippa really enjoyed…

Handled the ground very well and was a nice winner for the Moore team. Original quote: "Ar Mest: Ran very well last time at Huntingdon - has come out of that race very well. If handling the ground here today, should go close."

Another eye-catching winning run from Jamie's improving 6 year-old. Original quote: "Scorpion Sid - Won well on rules debut at Chepstow. He looked impressive that day and is built to defy a penalty. This look tougher with Oxwich Bay looking useful, but I couldn't be happier with our chap."

Powered away to win this for the Griffiths team. Original quote: "Brother Tiger - Been running really well of late without winning. Dropped a pound from his last run when a close fourth here, while the drop back to 5f is fine. In really good order at home and draw 1 a bonus. Hopeful of…

Great 12/1 winner for Lee and the team! Original quote: "First Experience - Really we've all got Gary's to beat here, but still feel we've got a solid each-way chance. Dropped in class to a 0-60 for the first time will help. Good draw in 2 and Charlie, who claims 3lbs, keeps the ride. CD…

Made it a 1-2 in the race for the TQ yards. Original quote: "Often runs well, but been a frustrating horse to win with - 18 races without a victory now. First-time tongue-tie on today and we get weight all-round, but looks a tough call today in what looks a fairly decent race."

Spot on and another top winner for the in-form Fellowes camp. Original quote: "Carolinae - I think these conditions today are perfect for this horse. She will love the track and the 7f is also spot-on for her. There also seems to be plenty of pace in the race which will suit, so hopeful of…

Great call from Suzy! Original quote: "Rosy World - Working well and out of a very good mare we trained. Her full sister was second in this race last year. Has a high crusing speed and acts on soft ground. Obviously a couple of good ones in here but we rate this mare despite being…

Another nice success for the in-fomr Tim Vaughan camp. Original quote: "Point Of Principle - Decent sort. Looks between the first three in the betting, but I'd not be surprised if our horse was capable of mixing it up with them. Yes, has a bit to find at the weights, but will love the ground…

Did enough to land the prize for Mick and the team. Original quote: "Beyeh - Ran well last time here over 2m4f - just got a bit tired in the closing stages so that's why we are back in trip here (2m). Down a few pounds for that too and Jack carries on in the…
