David's horses are running well and another decent place effort for the team. Original quote: "Big Lachie rarely runs a bad race at Bath, but being a series qualifier it is a more competitive race than he usually contends here. Hopefully he will get a strong pace & it he can get the gaps from…

Well done to the Kubler team and Richard Kingscote for this Chester win. Original quote: "Involved: First run after being gelded, Richard Kingscote has ridden him before and is the go-to man around Chester and gets reasonable draw in five. He has won after a break before however you never know after being gelded but…

RYDAN has run well in a similar race at Goodwood last year and although not over big seems able to shoulder the extra weight well. In a great frame of mind at home, working well and I hope to see RYDAN close at the finish. Trip possibly sharp enough now but that is offset by…

One to look out for in nurseries Original quote: "MOONDANCE made her debut in hot company at Goodwood so was unable to get competitive behind the field. Hopefully will learn more today but I suspect she will need a mark to get into handicap company so best watched for now. Hopefully MOONDANCE will improve for…

Promising debut for Gay's horse. Original quote: "Global Esteem - First day at the track so goes without saying will learn a lot. A nice colt though and one I like a lot, but one that will certainly benefit from the experience here and do better in time."

Nice run from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Star Talent - Not much depth to the race with just 4 looking the likely winners - but we are one of those. We are the most experienced runner in the field so we hope that counts for something and has run well at the track before too.…

Looks a promising sort for the Daniel Kubler yard. Original quote: "Secret Acquisition - Filly that has shown ability at home and will really come into her own over further and probably at 3 years-old. But should still be competitive here if taking everything well on her debut. 2 1/2 stars."

Grabbed it's first career win for the Moore yard at 20/1. Original quote: "Barrabrook - Always tricky to predict what is going to happen in an apprentice race but the horse is well and we are 3lbs lower than last time. Yet to win from 17 runs but career-low mark today so if able to…

No chance with the winner but ran on well to take second - one to note next time. Original quote: "Laugharne - Has gone well fresh and off a break in the past but is returning from 243 days off so no matter what will come on for the run. Has a decent hurdles record…

Another sold e/w run. Original quote: "Twasnt The Plan - Ran well to be second at Worcester last time out - just over 2 weeks ago. Has come out of that well and hoping we've found a similar opportunity here. Look to have the Newland and Sherwood horses to beat but after staying on well…

Smooth win for Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Archimento - Ran well to be second here on his reappearance over hurdles after a consistent summer on the flat when with William Knight. He looked a bit rusty over his obstacles the last day so we've schooled well since before his run. I’m hoping he will be…

Easy win for Jamie's progressive hurdler. Original quote: "Chapmanshype - Won well last time out here - up 7lbs for that so more needed but that rise seems just about fair. The slightly longer trip should be fine and and will love the drying ground. Obvsiously this is a much better race than last time…

Top effort from Charlie's horse. Original quote: "Onassis - Has run well in defeat and has some very smart form. She has got a lovely draw (1) and hopefully the step up to 7f will suit. David Probert rides."

Good each-way call from Charlie. Original quote: "Prince Of Arran - Ran well to be 8th in the Ebor last time out - only beaten 5 lengths. Has a great record at Kempton and looks to be coming back to his best. He has a great draw (3) and can go well at a nice…

Another easy win for Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Pacify - Was a very useful flat horse and has taken very well to jumping hurdles. He has won his three novice hurdles and the form of those has been working out really well. He carries a 10lb penalty today against a couple of unexposed rivals and…

Much better from Charlie's horse. Original quote: "Tulfarris - Started the year off really well but was poor last time out - although we think there were genuine excuses. Tight little race with all 6 runners looking closely-matched. Best form is on soft ground but this track will really suit and the conditions of the…

Spot on from Dave. Original quote: "Archimedes - Won well at Beverley two runs back and wasn't disgraced last time there too when 5th of 15 from a terrible draw and not beaten far. Remain in good order and taking his racing well. Better draw here (6) so confident of a good run. Each-way."

Held on well from third to land the place money. Original quote: "Clara Peeters was perhaps caught out on the ground last time. She is in good form and working well at home. The going should suit better today and with the drop back in trip a help too, hoping for a good run. Ryan…

Cracking run back from Charlie's horse. Original quote: "Amarillo Star - Made a lovely debut at Ascot over 5f (4th) but picked up an injury hence the break. Delighted to get back going with him and the step up to 6f a positive although quicker ground is an unknown. 1 1/2 stars."

Place money landed for Simon. Original quote: "Prince Rock - Been thereabouts for some time and deserves a race. Bit unlucky in running last time and well drawn here if he can reproduce the same. Needs to get his confidence but no surprise to see him involved."
