Solid effort from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Clara Peeters - Think the handcapper is making life tough for CLARA PEETERS. She ran a very honest race last time out when placed and got penalised another 2lbs for her effort. Hopefully the ground will be drying out at Newmarket as I doubt would want it too…

Much better run as expected from Dave's horse. Original quote: "Teruntum Star - Nice recruit to the yard - only second run here today, but does need to recapture it's old form. Continues to drop down the handicap though and is now 4lbs lower than last win - on a plus, will love the soft…

Great call from Gary. Original quote: "NEFF has had a few runs on the flat over the summer and had a win at Lingfield early in the season. Has schooled well and if he takes to hurdling NEFF couuld put on a bold show. I like to think NEFF is fit from the flat so…

Another exciting win for this improving hurdler. Original quote: "Chapmanshype has been very progressive this summer - winning the last twice - and although this is a huge step up in class and is 8lbs higher he's been doing things nicely and should have more to come. I'd like to think he can be very…

Good call at 20/1 from Scott. Original quote: "Champagne Mondays - Below-par last time out at Catterick but the return to the AW is a certain plus with both career wins coming on the AW, including one here. We've freshened him up with 1 1/2 months off and returns on a mark that is 6lbs…

Solid e/w run. Original quote: "Pleney - Back over hurdles after being pulled-up on chase debut last time out back in May. Yet to win a race still but only had 7 runs and at least returns here in a lower class race. Yet to tackle ground this soft but expected to suit and has…

Very easy winner for Gary - looks a nice sort. Original quote: "Botox Has - First run in the country for the yard - came over from France after just one run. Looks a nice recruit and this looks a good place to start him off. That effort in France was also a promising run…

Went down a head but still a top run. Original quote: "Tulfarris has hit the post numerous times this year and deserves a win. He is in great form and ran well over this course and distance earlier this season. Also goes well on soft ground so we feel he's sure to go close here…

Cracking call from Tim - backed into 11/2 from 12/1!! Original quote: "Evas Oskar - A nice horse and one we like a lot. Also a top winner for us last time out at Hexham - that came back in May and in a maiden hurdle. We are taking our time with him so has…

Ran on well to make it a TQ 1-2 in the race. Original quote: "Talkingpicturestv - Returned last month with a fair 5th at Worcester and we come here being dropped a pound for that. Has come on for that outing (2 months off) and get in here off another low weight. Has run well…

Another nice win for Tim's horse. Original quote: "Akkapenko - Probably our best chance on the day. Nice winner at Sedgefield last month and a 5lb rise for that looks fair. Dickie takes over in the saddle so we can't claim the 6lbs jockey allowance that we could last time, but we do have the…

Promising run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Paseo is a Juddmonte bred gelding by Champs Elysee, he had one run on the flat for Amanda Perrett finishing 7th. He ran okay that day without setting the world alight, but I think he was pretty backward, he was certainly very green when we began working him.…

Solid run - should be getting off the mark very soon. Original quote: "Len Brennan - Still looking for first career win (8 runs) but has gone close many times with 5 top three finishes. Back over hurdles today after a few below-par runs over fences. Hoping to get some confidence back into him but…

A clear step in the right direction from Harry's horse - one to note. Original quote: "Levanter - Only second career run - was down the field on debut at Newbury back in May. We've given her time to strengthen up since then so returning from a 4 1/2 month break so likely to need…

Nice each-way call from Harry. Original quote: "Vulcan - Took a nice step forward last time out when 4th (of 10) at Kempton over this 1m trip. Back on the turf today but that's fine and has run okay with a bit of cut before too. We are also adding the cheekpieces on today to…

Great call from Gary. Original quote: "King Of The Sand - Wasn't beaten far last time out at Brighton and we get in here a pound lower. Will be well-suited by the soft ground so the rain is a plus and has run well on the track in the past. Apprentice race but Rhys can…

Did really well from that draw. Original quote: "Aiguillette ran a sound race last week when 6th (of 13) here. Same mark and trip but that was only second race back after a wind op so should be more to come. However, badly drawn once again (11) so only consider e/w at best as might…

Gutsy win from Charlie's horse. Original quote: "Mayfair Spirit - Ran well enough in a far tougher race last time out and will appreciate the step up in trip today. I see no reason why he wouldn't act around Chelmsford too. Feel he's got a good chance in this drop of grade."

No chance with the first two but stayed on well at the finish and looks a fair prospect for Scott. Original quote: "Alex Gracie - Nice filly that's been doing well at home but first time on the track today so will be a bit of a learning curve for her."

Solid effort from Gay's horse - one to note. Original quote: "Interrupted Dream - A horse that came to us from the Mark Johnston yard - first run for us today. Has settled in well and also won well at Kempton last time out under today's 7lb claiming jockey. Only 5lbs higher here so even…
