Solid run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Brogans Bay - Ran well here on last visit and though 5f seems to suit her best, she is getting stronger with racing and has mostly been badly drawn in all starts where she had a chance since winning. Much better off here and no surprise to see…

Great effort from Julia's horse. Original quote: "Highway Robbery - Won at Lingfield so likes the AW - the trip is no problem and he has a good draw as he likes to be prominent. Sam Feilden is only having his second ride on the track but he rides the horse everyday so knows him…

With a clearer run would have surely won this!! Original quote: "Rudy Lewis - Ran a lovely race last time at Salisbury and has run well at Thirsk. This is a big drop in grade but a wide draw hasn't helped us much - on a plus, the ground and trip are ideal. If overcoming…

Great run from Harry's 2 year-old. Original quote: "Golden Lips - The Haggas horse looks like it sets the standard on what we've seen so far - but some newcomers in the race too so some unknowns. Our filly is going the right way and will improve for the step up to 1m. Is well…

Landed the each-way money for Harry and the team. Original quote: "Craneur - Looks our better chance on the day - consistent sort that was a fine second at Salisbury last time out. Same mark here and same trip but up in grade means a bit more needed. On a plus, we get in with…

Only just failed to get up - top from from Mark's horse. Original quote: "Rock Boy Grey ran well enough in down in Lingfield last time out, but just did a bit too much up front early on in the race. If Stevie can get him to settle into the race a bit more today…

In the end no chance with the winner, but still a promising run from Charlie's 2 year-old. Original quote: "King Carney - Made a lovely debut on ground that would have been too quick (5th at Haydock). This stiffer track will suit better too. We have the Gosden newcomer horse to beat but experience is…

Top win for Oliver's horse Original quote: "Working Class was due to to run here last week but lost a front shoe on the way to post so we had to pull him from the race. If it was a hind shoe lost it's not a bad as a front shoe - as the horse…

Cracking 16/1 winner for Simon and the team. Original quote: "El Borracho - Bit regressive in the last 2 starts but inexperienced rider who knows him well has won on him. Worth a try at this trip and not a complete surprise if he bounces back to form."

Solid run from Mark's horse. Original quote: "Seafaring Girl didn't enjoy the diverse track at Brighton and should be better suited by conditions at Lingfield today. It is not the most competitive of races but being a claimer we are wrong at the weights with a few of these so will need to be at…

Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Islay Mist - Very open race. We were delighted with her recent second at Lingfield on the AW - switches to the turf here but has won on the grass before. Has enough pace for the drop to 6f to suit and so with a very light…

Ran on well to take second at 20/1 - top call from Lee. Original quote: "Terri Rules - Disappointed last time really but wasn't beaten far - just 1 1/2 lengths in the end with the top 5 or some finishing in a bit of a heap. Into a Seller here and on these terms…

A 1-3 for Scott Dixon. Original quote: "Dark Shot - Had a good season on the turf and after a lot of seconds deserves to get a win. Drop in grade here but the big question mark is the surface and track - only had 2 AW runs and never raced here. If he takes…

Great win for Scott Dixon. Original quote: "Crosse Fire - One of four in the race for us. No issues with the track as a past CD winner here. Fit from several runs on the turf but rating on the AW a lot higher than his turf mark. Last win here came off just a…

Wins this race for the second time. Original quote: "Break The Silence - Won a division of this race last year and is 6lbs lower this time. We've also got a 7lb claimer riding so certainly well-handicapped on old form. Well-drawn in 3 and stays further than this. Is well and been freshened up with…

Ran well for Gay and the team Original quote: "Olivers Pursuit - Goes without saying the Channon horse is the one we've all got to beat. Our runner is certainly going the right way after just 2 runs - was an improved 5th last time at Windsor. Drop back to 7f (from 1m) is fine…

Great winner for Mark. Original quote: "Blue Medici - Lady riders' race - some good jockeys in action and we've a top one too in Becky Smith, who can also claim a handy 5lbs and has ridden the horse to victory twice already this season. Tricky little race but he's well at home. Ran on…

Spot-on from Dave. Original quote: "Archimedes - Wide draw not totally ideal, but hopefully he can get out quick and over. Ran a blinder to be second last Tuesday and in here off the same mark. Track, trip and ground are also fine and he's taken his racing well in the past. Can go well…

Went down a short head at 14/1 - but still a top call from Julia. Original quote: "Alibaba - Is a 2 year-old we like a lot - he is a breeze-up purchase who has benefited from being gelded. He showed improved form at Windsor last time and he has improved again at home since.…

Loved it back on the AW - a slightly surprising win, but a welcome one for the Moore yard. Original quote: "Back on the AWT which seems to suit, but a tough race with some possibly improving three year olds. Therefore, best-watched until showing a bit more form."
