Nice run from Henry's horse. Original quote: "Waiheke - Nice mare that we got from the Philip Hobbs yard - only second run for us and will be better for that last effort at Hereford. 2lbs lower for that and has improved for it. Only career win came on soft ground so today's conditions will…

Well back but a solid effort to build on. Original quote: "Shaun has been a slow learner but he has ability, horses are no different to children in that they learn at different rates so we can’t judge him yet. Shaun is a big good looking horse, who can jump and he is a thorough…

Each-way money landed. Original quote: "Laugharne - Has returned this season with two solid runs in better races than this. Drop in grade is a big plus and remains on the same mark. More weight to carry as a result of this stronger event, but has run well at the track before too and won't…

Placed again. Original quote: "Twasnt The Plan - Yet to win but has been placed in the top three 8 times from 9 runs! Another solid second last time out at Fakenham and 6lbs better off here with Charlie able to claim in this Conditional jockeys' race. Only slight concern is the softer ground as…

Easy as you like from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Kiltealy Briggs - Was second in a point earlier in his career and has been second in a bumper and a novice hurdle so far this season. He was beaten a short head last time out in a better race and so he's got the form…

Spot-on from Tim! Original quote: "Barntown - Very unlucky last time out when falling late on here when looking the winner. Same mark here and seems none the worse for that fall so hoping he can make amends here today. Ground and trip are the same too and actually gets in here carrying 8lbs less…

Ran well to take second for Gary - one to note next time. Original quote: "FLAMINGER has had time away from the track and this looks like a good opportunity to start his season. I have had the runner-up in this race several times so it would be good to win it! Pleased with Flaminger…

Top call from Tim. Original quote: "Timely Gift - Third run of the season and better for each one. Second last time at Fontwell and the form got a boost yesterday with the winner - Good News - winning again there. We are only 2lbs higher than last run but feel the longer trip is…

Won this race for a second year in a row! Original quote: "CHEQUE EN BLANC won this race last year and hopefully his run last month will have helped put him straight for this race today which has been the target. I don't have any ground concerns as he has coped with soft in the…

Landed the place money as expected. Original quote: "Been a while since GOLDSLINGER made the winners enclosure but generally runs a sound enough race. Goldslinger should have every chance today in this seller. Looks a solid e/w option."

Top e/w call from Tim at 12/1. Original quote: "Fort Denison - Nice opening effort at Market Rasen (4th) - but ran on well that day to take fourth so we feel the step up in trip here is a big plus, Up from 2m to 2m4f. Has also improved for that last run and…

Ran another great race - had to give 5lbs away, but pulled well clear of the third. Original quote: "Pacify - One of the stable stars and delighted to train him for the Duchess Of Cornwall and Chips Keswick. Done nothing wrong in winning all 5 starts so far over hurdles, but stepping up here…

Very impressive - next stop Sandown's Tingle Creek Meeting. Original quote: "Goshen - Delighted with his progress at the end of last season on the flat - winning three times very easily. This has always been the aim to go over hurdles - has schooled well and certainly won't mind the soft ground. Look to…

Ran a blinder and plugged on well at the end to take third. Original quote: "Electron Bleu - Charlie rides in this conditional jockeys' race and it will be a great experience for him at Cheltenham. He can claim 6lbs here and the horse is 3lbs lower than last time. This will still only be…

Cracking run from Henry's horse - nice to see Ozzy back and back to form. Original quote: "Nice to get Ozzy back on the track after 455 days off and a lot of setbacks. Well at home and gone okay fresh in the past but goes without saying after 1 1/2 years off will improve…

Improved for the return to the AW. Original quote: "Roller - Not set the world alight since joining us from the Mick Easterby yard - is, however, 12lbs lower than first run for us and 7lbs lower than last time he ran in a handicap. Well drawn in 1 here and looks a poor race.…

Exciting effort from Jamie's mare. Original quote: "Legends Ryde - Is a tank of a mare. She relished a strong gallop on soft ground to win her bumper at Carlisle last time out and this has been the plan since. She's a strong type, who should relish the ground and has a decent chance, albeit…

Great run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Lady ran a blinder here against the boys on her seasonal debut and the second race of her career on ground similar to what she will encounter today. Lady is a half sister to a good mare I trained called Hitherjaques Lady (who is now in foal to…

Great start to the day! Original quote: "Avorisk Et Perils - Was bought really to go jumping but has too much speed, so the plan is to keep her on the flat for a bit. Well after a recent run at Kempton after a break and this looks the right grade for her. 2lbs lower…

Easy as you like - great winner for Tim. Original quote: "Oriental Cross - We weren't too disappointed with his return run at here last month when 5th of 9. Down a pound here from her last run and she's certainly come on for that too (came off a break). Won't be easy with 12-0…
