Solid second from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Early Morning Rain - Ran quite green on debut at Ludlow but was still only beaten 4 lengths. She's improved tons since then so shouldn't be too far away here, albeit it looks a competitive race. Sam Twiston-Davies rides so that helps too. E/W."

Rallied gamely to get back up on the line! Original quote: "Global Wonder - Tried this 1m2f trip for the first time last time and ran with credit to be second. Only a pound higher this time and actually didn't get the best of runs last time out so it could have been better. With…

Great call from Gary at 12/1 Original quote: "Barrsbrook - Well at home and is down in the lowest grade for a long time. If things go well, should have good e/w chances."

The race was set up nicely for Lee's horse. Original quote: "Shyron - Course winner that we've not had for long. 8 year-old so an older horse so we are trying him over a slightly longer trip. Will be held up and that will suit Robert Winston's style of riding - not badly treated on…

Top effort from Dave's horse. Original quote: "Archimedes - Won well last time and has come out of that race in really good form. CD winner here so track and conditions are fine too. A bit more needed with a higher mark but he's very well and we are expecting a really good run. Each-way."

Plugged on well to take second. Original quote: "Len Brennan - Might have been flattered to get close to the likes of Ok Corral and Impulsive Star last time at Plumpton - both horses franked the form at the weekend too. First run in a handicap here so we'll find out more about his level/mark…

Top call from James. Original quote: "Compadre - Back over fences now and looks off a nice mark to us. If he settles and jumps should take a hand with just 10-10 to carry. Conditions look ideal."

Second for Mark and the team. Original quote: "Embers Glow won well at Wolverhampton just before Xmas and remains in good spirits at home. He seems to prefer Wolverhampton, but has had a couple of solid runs at Kempton so providing it isn't riding too slow then he should be ok. Eoin Walsh gets on…

Looks a nice sort for Suzy. Original quote: "Debestyman - Ran very well last time - improved for the step up in trip. Would want a bit more rain to get into the ground this afternoon though but there might be some in the air. We expect him to go very close today."

An improved run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "RUBY YEATS has come down markedly in the handicap as it is proving difficult to get her back on track to recapture previous form of over a year ago. Visor applied today and back over hurdles but one that really is best watched."

Stayed on really well to win again. Original quote: "AR MEST ran out a decent winner at Leicester recently. Has gone up 6 pounds for that but hopefully the booking of Niall Houlihan taking 10 off will go some way towards rectifying this. Seems to act well on any surface having won his maiden on…

Spot on from Gay. Original quote: "Bolt N Brown - The Balding horse sets the standard and might be hard to beat but our 3 year-old is going the right way and was a much improved third last time at Chelmsford. Has come out of that race well and seems in great order at home.…

Got up on the line to dead-heat for first. Original quote: "Mont Kiara - Makes his debut for us here and has some useful form. No reason why he won't feature at this level, well drawn and top rider booked, sure to come on for the run as well though."

Top effort from a bad draw. Original quote: "Gas Monkey - Is a horse we've always liked - we didn't over race him last year because he was still waek and was always going to improve with age. He has won over this CD on his only run on the AW so that helps and…

Solid run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Subliminal - Satisfactory debut for us a few weeks ago when he looked like he wanted further. Stamina to prove but plenty of scope and can only have come on for the run last time. Interesting in a low grade event."

Promising run from James' horse. Original quote: "Croeso Cymraeg - Shaped well enough on first run for us and should come on for that. Should be thereabouts in what looks a tricky heat to assess."

Jumped well on the whole and grabbed a first win over fences. Original quote: "Really looks a shoot out between us and the Greatrex horse. Debece was a fair second on his chase debut at Chepstow last time out and on the whole jumped well that day. That would have taught him a lot and…

Each-way money landed. Original quote: "CASSIVELLAUNUS is off a mark that he won off at Plumpton nearly a year ago and has run solid races in defeat at Fakenham and Fontwell in recent weeks. Capable of taking this today but it could turn out to be quite an open race with several with chances. Each-way…

A deserved win for Gary's horse.   Original quote: "EARLY DU LEMO has been rather unfortunate unseating the jockey two out of three of his last runs. Ran a good race at Newbury finishing second just after Christmas inbetween those so with a clear round you would have to be hopeful. This race is not…

Solid run from Gary's hurdler. Original quote: "It was unfortunate that BOLISTER fell at the first on his chase debut SIX WEEKS AGO and seemed to have rather spooked himself. Back over hurdles today to boost his confidence but BOLISTER is not without a chance so I do think on previous form over hurdles BOLISTER …
