Made it a Moore 1-3 in the race. Original quote: "BENEVOLENTDICTATOR showed promise on his debut run at Ascot in a bumper but did not follow that run too well next time out. I did have a few horses running rather flat at the time so I am hoping that BENEVOLENTDICTATOR will put on a…

Solid win for Gary's horse. Original quote: "NEFF loves his job, he is a winner here at Fontwell and has put in two decent performances in defeat. I hope he can follow up today under a penalty as he is a consistent type and seemingly straightforward. Working well at home so I see no reason…

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Madera Mist - Dropped 2lbs for last run when third at Bangor. Slightly better graded race here but that means a bit less weight on her back. 3m trip will be fine too and seems well after 4 weeks off. Looks to have an each-way say here."

KING ATHELSTAN ran better than his finishing place suggested recently as he ran into quite a few traffic problems. Only two pound higher from when he last ran so possible with a clear run that he could be close up at the finish today at a nice price.

Stayed on really well to take this. Original quote: "Chitra - Bids to follow-up her recent course and distance win in a similar race. Tough draw but if she can manage it we understand that she will become the single most-winning 3 year-old in Britain - a testament to her toughness and attitude."

Each-way money landed. Original quote: "Rosie And Millie - Top win last time out at Ayr - winning very easily. Up in grade here into a Listed race so a lot more needed but we've taken our time with her and will love the soft ground. An extra 3f here so a slight unknown but…

Just got run out of things in the closing stages but e/w money landed. Original quote: "Just the 1 win from 18 runs - so not any easy horse to win with, but has been placed many times and been knocking on the door of late. CD winner that is a pound lower for a…

Top winner for Scus improving sort. Original quote: "Court Master - Up only 3lbs for his recent win at Musselburgh and with that coming off a break and after a wind op then it made it all the better. Higher grade and much better race than last time, so will need more but as a…

Battled on well to get the job done. Original quote: "Thomas Macdonagh - Is a nice horse - he won his novice hurdle well and bolted up on handicap debut last month. That was a conditional jockeys' race so he escapes a double penalty here. This looks an ideal race for him but it's not…

Stayed on too strongly for this lot - top stuff. Original quote: "Hard To Forget - Cracking effort last time out to win by 7 lengths at Hereford. Raised 9lbs for that so will need to improve again but has come out of that race well and we feel there will be more to come…

Easy 18 length winner for Gary's horse. Original quote: "Flaminger - Probably our best chance of the day if he finally does manage to get his head in front.  He has got a lot of 2nds to his name but through no fault of his own."

Slightly surprising winner for Tim and the team. Original quote: "Third runner in the race for us - and another that will be better once handicapped."

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Kiltealy Briggs - Is a lovely young horse. He won his novice hurdle impressively last time out and deserves to take his chance in this Grade 2 event. Obviously this is highly competitive but I couldn't be happier with him and the step up in trip promises…

An improved run from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Northern Beau - CD winner at the track, but tough looking race and we are also running 3lbs out of the handicap. Does like the track though and is a past CD winner and ran well for much of the way here last time behind Saint Calvados.…

Spot on from Gary. Original quote: "BOTOX HAS rather sets the standard here so I hope he can follow up after a decent win at Fontwell and a respectable second here a month ago. Might not be that straightforward as Tremwedge from Ireland could be a danger and Langer Dan from the Skelton yard has…

No chance with the winner - but still a top run and plenty to look forward to for Charlie. Original quote: "London Arch - Is a nice big scopey colt who has taken time to come to hand, but looks ready to run now. As with all of mine he will improve for the race…

Top winner for Tim. Original quote: "Copper Gone West - We stepped her up in trip last time and she seemed to love that - running a fair second at Market Rasen. Up again slightly in distance here - only a pound higher, but Charlie is taking off 5lbs so actually 4lbs better off this…

Another nice winner for the in-form Oliver Sherwood yard. Original quote: "Book Of Gold - He's been disappointing on the track! He has been working and schooling well at home which is frustrating. He's slipped down the Handicap and we're running him with a tongue-tie today to eliminate that thought process. He ran well here…

Solid second for Gary and a 1-2 in the race. Original quote: "West Drive - Second runner in the race for us. Been out of form of late, but if bouncing back is probably the biggest danger to the favourite (our other runner)."

Easy winner for Gary and a 1-2 in the race too! Original quote: "Not Never - In good order and hopefully, if everything goes right, this will give him a confidence boost and see him back to winning ways. "
