Lost out by just a neck but still a solid run from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Thistle Do Nicely - Has done little wrong this season - winning two novice hurdles with his head in his chest. He was fourth in a Grade Two on unsuitably soft ground and was second under a double penalty.…

No chance with the first two but plugged on well for third - a step back in the right direction. Original quote: "Best watched on flat debut. ET MOI ALORS needs a confidence boost and I am hoping a spin around Kempton may help his cause. Shows speed at home - however, this is a…

Another easy win for Gay's horse at Southwell. Original quote: "Purple Rock - Won well last time out and is a proven course and distance winner. Up 3lbs for that and has come out of the race well enough to suggest he can go close again here. Danny Muscutt keeps the ride."

Easy winner for Tim and the team! Original quote: "Landsman - Hoping we've found a good opportunity here to get off the mark over hurdles. Former Tony Martin runner that was third on debut for us earlier this month at Huntingdon. This race looks easier than last time and after returning from a 5 month…

Just enough juice in the ground - looks one to follow in that form. Original quote: "Gleno - Won his bumper last year on heavy ground and has not figured much in his novice hurdle races. More chances now qualified for handicaps, but I have slight ground concerns that conditions may be quick enough today. "

Easy win for Henry's charge. Looks set for bigger and better things. Original quote: "Louis Vac Pouch - Very useful sort and a nice recruit to the yard. Had his issues but delighted with his win on stable debut last time out - travelled and jumped really well that day at Ludlow and has come…

Left in the front when Tim's fell two out - but still got the job done in style. Original quote: "Hogans Height - Was a decent Novice Chaser last season and won his Novice Hurdle at Catterick last time out, so running here again a plus. Will appreciate this step up in trip and looks…

Jumped well and stayed on really well to grab her first career win. Original quote: "Northern Beau - Decent and consistent mare that was second last time out at Leicester. That came off a break so will be better for it and we are also 2lbs lower here. Tongue-tie remains on but we are also…

Another nice winner for the in-form Jamie Snowden yard. Original quote: "Early Morning Rain - Improved on her debut run to be a fine second last time out - this looks slightly weaker on paper but Anthony's horse could be anything and is, therefore, feared."

Each-way return from Suzy's horse. Original quote: "Cracker Jak - Ran a nice race at Kempton last time - staying on well. Is still learning but could reach the frame here off a nice weight."

Top winner for Oliver. Original quote: "Tarada has run with great promise in both of his races to date, a bumper at Carlisle and a hurdle at Chepstow. The form of both those races has worked out really well. Tarada is an enormous horse who has been given plenty of time by his owner, he…

Promising effort and looks a horse to note. Original quote: "Lady Cosette - New horse to us - she came from the Jeremy Noseda yard. Nice recruit to the yard and despite not winning yet has some fair overall form. Big step up in trip here from 7f to 1m4f though so bit of a…

Just got done on the line by a neck but a welcome return to form. Original quote: "Mysteree - We won this race in 2017 with this horse, but he's actually not won since. Has had his problems though and only raced 6 times since. A bit better in the Welsh National lasst time, when…

Solid run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "BEAT THE JUDGE won well here at Kempton over course and distance during the Christmas period. Ran well at Ascot last time out but he pulled so hard his chances were rather compromised. Hopefully BEAT THE JUDGE will settle better today and I hope to see him run well.…

Solid effort from Dave's horse. Original quote: "Warriors Valley - Delighted with his win last time out at Southwell - a horse we like and nice to gain his third career victory that day. Did it well by 2 lengths so you'd hope the 6lb rise in the ratings is within range. First ever run…

Top effort behind a useful sort. Original quote: "Makety ran better than her form suggests at Hereford on her first outing for us after winning a point to point bumper over 2m the previous spring. Because she had won a bumper over 2m I presumed she would want further than 2m over hurdles, and I…

Solid run from Henry's horse. Original quote: "Chase End Charlie - In good form and comes here off the back of a 4th, 2nd and 3rd from this last three outings. Same mark as last time but has been freshened up with a few months off. Conditions are fine and the horses seem to be…

No chance with the winner - but still a solid run and each-way money landed. Original quote: "Crosse Fire - Running well at the moment - four top three finishes. Into a slightly higher grade here though but as a result we get in with the lowest weight. Theo also takes off 5lbs. CD winner…

Might have been different had Gary's horse not fluffed the last - but each-way money still landed (9/2 into 5/2). Original quote: "THOUNDER was unlucky to bump into one last time out finishing runner-up. I am hoping that taking 10lbs off with a competent rider on board will seriously strengthen THOUNDERS chances today on ground…

Well backed all day and got the job done.......just! Original quote: "Kilfilum Cross - In good order and top rider in Derek O'Connor booked for this amateur rider's race. Trip and track are fine and only concern is the ground being a tad too quick. Good moving sort though so hopefully won't get outpaced -…
