Not much chance with the easy winner, but Oliver's horse ran well to be second and looks one to follow based on that. Original quote: "Euxton Lane - I was pleased with his last run at Doncaster finishing midfield in what looked a hot novice. He is a beautiful horse who is very much a…

Solid run from Tim's horse and landed the e/w money at 8/1. Original quote: "Calarules: Fourth at Catterick last time out on it's first run for the yard. Has come out of that race well and we expect the horse to improve for the step up in trip here. James Bowen a plus in the…

Solid second from Michael's horse - another to note from the yard. Original quote: "Court Master: A £65,000 purchase from Cheltenham sales who won a soft ground point in Ireland and goes very well at home. Very heavy ground would be a slight concern, but is a nice horse for the future that I’m look…

Solid run from Michael's horse - one to note. Original quote: "Northern Beau: This point to point winner ran really well when having her first run for me on soft ground at Musselburgh, I see no reason why won't handle this softer ground today and this stiffer track will definitely help, it will take a…

Great call from Charlie. Original quote: "Vice Marshal: Had a shocking draw last time out and nothing really went right for him. His drawn much better today, has more ability than his form suggests and could go close at a big price. "

Came with a well-timed late run to take this for Simon and the team. Original quote: "Ojala: Progressive colt and would have come on for his reappearence at the end of last year. This is his stiffest test so far and unknown at this track but has scope and no surprise to see him continue…

An easy 10 length winner for Mark's horse. Original quote: "Dream Magic is returning to Wolverhampton tonight after not really taking to the surface at Southwell last time out - so we will draw a line through that run. He is a course & distance winner & Andrew Mullen rides again, so conditions are all…

Great call from Henry. Original quote: "Dr Des - Been a real star of late and run well in some decent contests. Sets a fair standard and dropped in grade here give us a big chance. Won't be easy with 11-10 and giving weight away, but handles the ground and we think he wants further…

Ran on really well to take second - looks a horse to follow based on this run. Original quote: "Ebtkaar - Only fourth run for us. Showed some promise on debut for the yard at Chelmsford, but has failed to build on that since. On a plus we are back up in trip here to…

A nice 14/1 each-way return. Original quote: "Queens Royale - Has won its last two on this surface and is very well after around 6 weeks off. Apprentice race and we've a 7lb claimer on today to help with the weight. A nice draw in 3 a plus and this 7f trip is ideal. Weighted…

A nice e/w run from Julia's horse Original quote: "Majestic Moon - Went up 5lbs for his win last week so we have decided to run with a penalty as he will now be out of this grade and I think the grade of race matters more than the weight he has to carry. A…

A nice double on the day for the Dave Griffiths yard. Original quote: "Magic Pulse - Trappy little race, but we head here with a big chance. Magic Pulse won well last time here over course and distance and we've given him a month to get over that. Up 8lbs so more required, but has…

A nice winner for the Griffiths camp. Original quote: "Archimedes - CD winner and has certainly come on for last run after returning from a break. Better expected and has conditions to suit. However, we've 3 1/2 lengths to find with the favourite - Something Lucky - and with that horse on the upgrade it…

A nice effort from Julia's horse and a TQ 1-2-3 in the race. Original quote: "Go On Gal - Is now back into the grade that she won at. 1m4f will suit better here too. A good run last time when she had to make the running due to their being no pace in the…

Another nice run from this old-timer and a 1-2 in the race for Mick Appleby. Original quote: "The Lock Master - Second runner in the race for us and looks to be slowly coming to the boil. Dream Serenade probably just edges it of mine in the race, but I would not be shocked if…

Made all to win by 5 lengths and lead home a TQ 1-2-3 in the race!! Original quote: "Dream Serenade - Ran much better last time when a close second here a week ago. Off the same mark here and over the same trip and grade then must have every chance of going well again.…

Another top front-running effort from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Penny Dreadful - Draw 3 is a big plus as we all know this horse likes to get on with the job. Down a few pounds from her last run at Southwell, but the return to Chelmsford will help. Often runs well here and starting to…

Mick's horse had just about enough in-hand to take this. Original quote: "Shamrokh - Been knocking on the door with two good runs of late, including a close third here over 1m2f. Same mark, but the drop in trip and grade, plus the jockey claiming 5lbs this time give us a much better chance. Several…

Top run from Suzy's 5 year-old - one to look out for. Original quote: "Dubai Dirham - Possibly used the wrong tactics on her last time and will be trying something different today. Works well enough at home to suggest that it wasn't her true showing last time and hope we see something more encouraging…

Dubai Dirham - Possibly used the wrong tactics on her last time and will be trying something different today. Works well enough at home to suggest that it wasn't her true showing last time and hope we see something more encouraging from her today. Tricky race to call with so many being lightly-raced, but hopeful…
