Great win for Suzy's horse. Original quote: "Cracker Jak - Has run well on his first two starts in handicap company - possibly a tad unlucky last time after being caught up in trouble in-running on the last circuit. Track should suit him well as should step up in trip. Each-way chance."

Top effort behind an improving sort - but made him work. Original quote: "Landsman - Look to have the Hobbs horse to beat - and that might be hard as he won well the other week. But we come here in good order too after a nice win at Musselburgh in a maiden hurdle. Into…

Nice call and Gary even gave you the winner! Original quote: "El Hageb Rose - Drop in grade will help but does need to improve on what we've seen on the track so far. Only had 5 runs though so will have more to offer and 3lb lower than last time too. A race that…

Another winner for the in-form Jamie Snowden yard. Original quote: "Midnight Chill - Has won twice and been a close second twice since switching to chasing this season and should have more to offer now upped in trip, albeit in a competitive race."

Third for Gary and the team. Original quote: "Episode - Nice mare that has only had three career runs. Did okay on debut run for the yard at Sandown but racing against her own sex here will help. Looks between fur of us and hard to access the other princibles as they are lightly-raced too,…

Great call from Scu. Original quote: "Newtown Lad - Trip and soft ground here will be fine - has been a bit in-and-out this season but as a result is starting to look well-handicapped - is now 5lbs lower than last win. Return to a Class 4 will also help and has run okay at…

Each-way money landed. Original quote: "Seaston Spirit - He ran okay last time at Fontwell, he just seems to lack concentration and that's why have put the blinkers on him. I believe he still has ability and we're hoping that the blinkers (first-time) will improve him? If they do then feel we've got a fair…

No chance with the winner but stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Electron Bleu - Looks a bit of a three-horse race, but we are one of those trio with a chance. Based on the official ratings we are actually the top-rated so hoping the horse can translate his French form to over…

Top winner for Jamie. Original quote: "Scorpion Sid - Has been very progressive on soft ground over hurdles last season and now in Novice Chases. This mark looks well within range and he should have a decent chance to extend his winning sequence (albeit this looks competitive) - so long as the ground doesn't dry…

The race 'DID' fall apart - but showed great guts to get the job done for the in-form Tim Vaughan yard. Original quote: "Adherence - Returns from a around a year off and having first run for us. Only had 5 hurdles runs (no wins) so more to come, but is well experienced with 22…

Solid run from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Isaac Wonder - Shown promise in three juvenile hurdles - probably his best run last time in a hot event. Top-rated in this, plus his 4 year-old allowance must give him a great chance with conditions to suit."

Ran on well to take second. Original quote: "Furia D'oudairies - Disappointing last time when fourth at Fontwell - is certainly better than that. Still only had three career runs so leanring all the time but hopefully will improve for running on better ground here and also in a much weaker race. Each-way."

Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Briac - Won well twice back in Jan and wasn't disgraced at Sandown last time when third off a much higher mark. Has had a month to get over that last race and with this race looking a tad easier then is expected to go well again.…

Pulled clear of the rest and certainly one to watch based on this. Original quote: "Timcoda - Was second on his bumper debut and that form has worked out well. Things haven't quite clicked over hurdles yet but he's in the right grade here on handicap debut. He's also had a wind-op and with a…

Great winner for Henry. Original quote: "Darlyn - Been in great form this season - winning two of her last three. Wasn't far behind in fourth last time either and seems well after a few months off. Returns to Southwell as she's won here in the past too and is only 3lbs higher than that…

Another solid each-way run from Charlie's horse. Original quote: "Treasure Me - Has run well in defeat this winter but was unsuited by the straight track and step up to a mile last time out. This is much more up her street tonight - CD winner here too - and Aled takes a valuable 7lbs…

Kept on well to land the spoils by 5 lengths. Original quote: "Casual Cavalier - Course winner and the trip here is fine despite all wins coming over shorter. Was only just touched off over 1/2 a furlong longer last time (2nd) at Ayr. Jockey takes 7lbs off too and has ridden 8 winners from…

Solid debut run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Kost A Coat - One of two in the race for us - debut run so likely to come on for the experience but a fair sort that should be noted after a few runs."

Nice winner for Oliver. Original quote: "Cilaos works really nicely at home but again he has to be ridden with restraint otherwise he is very strong on the gallops. I’d like to think he’s turned the corner now and therefore he can be ridden closer to the pace in his races. Cilaos is pretty straightforward,…

Great call from Gary. Original quote: "CLAYTON has been running well in defeat and this race today looks a very good opportunity for him. Ground conditions should suit and CLAYTON has every chance."
