Kicked on round the bend and that proved the winning move. Original quote: "Deebaj - Disappointing horse so far. Hopefully he will run a bit better in this lower grade and if so, should have an e/w chance. Adam Kirby rides. "

Ran another solid race for Mark. Original quote: "Little Miss Kodi - Can put a line through the last run as didn't really like the cheekpieces in the end. Leaving them off here, but remains in great order at home and very hopeful of going well here - Nicola also takes off 5lbs from the…

With a better draw probably would have won - still a nice e/w return. Original quote: "Bridge Of Sighs - Ran a blinder last time and only got pipped on in the closing stages. Up 4lbs for that but remains in cracking form. Oision continues in the saddle - only negative being draw 13 so…

Great call from Daniel - second at 33/1!! Original quote: "Mutineer has lost his way on his last couple of starts and gets blinkers on today to focus him back on the job in-hand. If they see him back to near his best then should go well."

Top double on the card for Simon. Original quote: "Corazon Espinado - Been progressing this winter and wide draw last week here cost him his racing position though still not beaten far. Better chance in this now from stall 4 in a slightly weaker event. Should not be far away."

Looks a promising sort for the Dow camp. Original quote: "Bobby Biscuit - Encouraging debut (4th of 10) and been wintering well. Should be suited by conditions and the form of his debut has worked out. Held in high regard and likely to go close if fit enough on his return."

Got up on the line to dead-heat with the danger. Original quote: "Jaunty Lad - Teescomponents Lad is the clear danger but we head here hopeful of going very well. Fifth run for us and despite yet to win has run some top races in defeat. Heavy ground is fine, while the trip and track…

Stayed on really well and after his wind-op looks a horse on the up. Original quote: "Bassarabad - Returns after a few months off, but has also had a wind op in that time. Sports the tongue tie today too and seems well for his op. Doesn't mind soft or heavy ground, while this 3m…

Another top run from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Shockingtimes - Would have won on his firt run back but fell. He then didn't handle atrocious conditions on Boxing Day over 3m2f. The drop in trip will help here, as will the drop in the handicap, but just hope he handles the ground here today."

Looks a nice sort from the Oliver Sherwood camp. Original quote: "Got Away - She was a bit deliberate early on at Newbury on her first outing and she was just warming up when making a silly mistake and falling, she didn’t get high enough and the fences at Newbury are pretty unforgiving. She was…

A much better run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Classic Pursuit - Second runner in the race for us. Handles the track here and won well at Nottingham back in October. But as a result got hammered up the ratings - going up 28lbs for that win. AW mark is a bit lower (80), but…

Another win for the old-boy - great stuff from Scott and another top advert on his training talents. Original quote: "Sir Geoffrey - The legend returns! Retains all his ability and enthusiasm for the game at the age of 12 now. Fresh and well after a break. Running for the 149th time today and hopeful…

Powered clear to win and another TQ View winner this month too! Original quote: "Tha'ir - Our final runner on the day and if pushed probably my best chance. Very well-handicapped on old form when with Godolphin as now rated 76 and was once as high as 108. Didn't seem to handle the fibresand last…

Kept on well to land the e/w money. Original quote: "Bounderby had his first run for us at Southwell and travelled very well but didn't seem to get home over the 1m 4f on fibresand. He is dropping back to the 1m2f trip today and if he handles the tapeta then he would have a…

A much better run and the e/w money landed. Original quote: "Raven's Raft - Stall 1 and Luke Morris are the two pluses. We are also back to 7f here after going well for much of the way last time and tiring over 1m 1 1/2f. Yet to win, but only had 7 career runs…

Top call from Mick! Original quote: "Courier - Only four runners, but looks like we've all got a squeak. Courier has been running well in defeat of late and goes well here at the track. Only 5th run for us but with 45 races is an experienced individual. Up to a mile here too, but…

A much better run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "A lot more needed based on last run when down the field at Wolverhampton. Running from out the handicap here today too so a bit to find on these terms, but Luke a plus in the saddle and hoping the step back up to 1m2f will…

A nice run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Native Fighter - Makes his British debut and for us here with some fair form in his native Germany. From a strong family, trains well and no surprise if he goes well if he adapts to all weather racing."

Great double on the day for the Jamie Snowden camp. Original quote: "Naranja - Deservedly won last time out and the handicapper has left her mark alone. Therefore, she looks to have a decent chance today in an open-looking race."

Ran a blinder and only just run out of it in the closing stages. Original quote: "Northern Beau - First run for us, but has settled in well and looks a very nice recruit to the yard. Heads here having won her last two points in decent fashion so knows how to get her head…
