Top winner for Mick. Original quote: "Space Bandit - Only second run for us after coming from the Michael Bell yard and third run in total. Still finding our feet with him but shown a fair level of form to suggest he can go well here. Surface an unknown and will be a bit better…

Pulled well clear of the third - looks sure to be winning races. Original quote: "Free Love - Actually not beaten far last time at Doncaster in a better race than this. Only had 3 runs on the AW (no wins) and first try here at Southwell. Theo knows the horse well though and from…

Ran a blinder and went down fighting. Original quote: "Principia - Second runner in the race for us and with just two runs then lesser exposed of our runners. Promising effort last time when 4th of 13 at Wolves and has come out of that race well. Surface an unknown but we feel she'll like…

Gutsy win from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Bolton Boy - Well bred sort that has not shown up in two races so far but the better ground here will certainly help. Will also get a mark after this so that will help. More needed but one for the future and hopeful of a step in…

Great advice from Jamie. Original quote: "Midnight Chill - Works like a smart horse but his form has been a bit hit and miss on the track. He had a wind op over the summer and won the legends race at Chepstow last month. He jumps well and could be very well-handicapped."

Ran into one here but still a solid effort. Original quote: "Hint Of Grey - Just second run over fences. A bit of an unknown over this distance but must have reasonable chances with last run having brought him on and 3lbs lower this time."

Easy win for Tim's horse Original quote: "Cap St Vincent - Delighted with his win last time out at Ludlow - won with a bit in-hand too. Up 8lbs for that so harder this time but going the right way and this will only be his ninth career run so more to come. Conditions are…

Solid run and one to note next time based on that effort. Original quote: "Robinesse is also coming back from a long lay-off so is expected to come on a fair bit for this. She is a half-sister to the useful Jersey Bean and whilst she is a different colour to him she has a…

Spot-on from Mick! Original quote: "Michele Strogoff - Been a busy horse this year but is taking his racing well. Second last time out just 5 days ago but dropped into a Claimer here and weighted to go close. Actually looks an above average claimer with three 80+ rated horses in (one is us). Another…

Only just failed to get up. Original quote: "Chica de la Noche - Plenty of solid form on the all weather and rated well below her best these days. Wide draw (12) no help but should be thereabouts and top rider booked in Oisin Murphy. Each-way."

Great call from Oliver. Original quote: " Cervaro Mix - has run well in both of his races for us, finishing second in a bumper first time out on unsuitable ground at Fontwell and he then ran with huge promise in his first hurdle race at Bangor. If he had really winged the last he’d…

A much better run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Thechildren'strust - A disappointing last race and don't know what to expect really. We'll try different tactics this time so it is hard to assess but if getting it right, could have a decent chance if they work as is certainly better than what we've seen…

Looks a promising for Scu and his team. Original quote: "Thor De Cerisy - Not races to get too involved in with some many lightly-raced runners. Our 4 year-old is a nice sort that has been doing well at home. Harry takes off a handy 3lbs and the trip, ground and track will be fine.…

No chance with the winner but still another decent run from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Our Reward - Been mixing it up over both hurdles and fences of late but is back over fences here. The form of his last run (3rd) wasn't too made though as the winner has gone in again. Bolted-up at…

Another solid run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Distingo - A little bit unlucky last time (close second) and due to go up 2lbs after today. Has come out of that last race well - Hopefully the track will suit and give him every chance."

Placed again - solid run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Whenapoet - In and out this season - showed promise with a few thirds but didn't really back those efforts up. Back on the AW here and we are trying the cheekpieces for the first time so see if that settles him a bit better.…

Another great win at the track for Daniel's horse. Original quote: "Outrage - Loves the track and it suits his running style. He has gone very close in this grade before, including over 6f here. His best form is over 5f, which he gets today, so looking forward to seeing how things pan out."

Decent effort from Jane's horse. Original quote: "Angelina D'Or - Small place chance today at Newcastle for this horse as AW record not too shabby - 7 runs and 5 top three finishes. No matter what will be better for the run though after a few months off. Probably 1 1/2 stars."

No chance with the winner but ran on well to nab second close home. Original quote: "Flaunt It - Shown fair form to date - but looks a hot maiden so we'll give it a go but likely to get a bit outclassed today. Third run here to so will at least get a mark…

Top call from Gay. Overcame the draw and a horse to follow. Original quote: "Global Spectrum - We really like this horse - I think he could be my best one but is first time out here and drawn 11 not ideal. Whatever he does here though he'll improve for it and certainly has a…
