Solid run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "STORMINGIN does not get his head in front very often but he does act on soft going. Hopefully today STORMINGIN will put this right as he is in great form at home and this looks to be a real opportunity for him."

Wow - cracking 50/1 winner for Simon Dow! Original quote: "Looks a good type for these sort of races and was bought for this job. No form on soft but he is a great type and sure to go well for his enthusiastic team."

A nice 1-2 in the race for Gary Moore. Original quote: "THERMAL ran a better race recently at Kempton finishing well after struggling to go with the early pace. This softer ground just may be to her liking and if so she could be there at the finish."

Great call from Gary Moore. Original quote: "RAFIOT ran well in an amateur race at Salisbury recently with Ellie Vaughan having her first ride. Hoping the race will have been of benefit to both horse and jockey and if all goes to plan I expect to see RAFIOT with strong each-way chance today."

Looks a horse to follow from the Gay Kelleway yard. Original quote: "Very good horse that is improving with every run. Only had four career starts and returned with a solid second at Sandown last month. We feel the step up from 7f to 1m will be in his favour and certainly a horse to…

Nice each-way return for Julia's horse. Original quote: "Is a lovely Kingman filly, who we hope is now well-handicapped. She has been wanting this ground so we hope she will get competitive in this weak race."

Good run from Gay's horse in France. Original quote: "Running in France today in a 6f Claimer - has travelled over well and ran well last time out at Salisbury when a fair 3rd over 7f. Drop to 6f fine, but clearly stays further so if able to keep in touch that will be a…

Stayed on well to nab third. Original quote: "Mayfair Pompette has been one of my biggest disappointments this year as she has always been a favourite of mine. Last time out was a non-event as she got trapped far too far back. I am hoping a return to turf and the 10 furlongs will be…

Julia was spot-on here. Original quote: "Is a full sister to Gas Monkey. He didn't show any form until he was a 4 year-old - this is her first run for us too and she looks to be on a good handicap mark - any rain will help. She will, however, improve on what she…

Gutsy win from Oliver's staying chaser. Original quote: "Monkey Puzzle is a horse that wants decent ground so last winter was a nightmare for him, he had wind surgery in December after a poor show at Taunton on his only chase run and he was being readied for a spring campaign when racing was halted.…

Nice call from Gary and a return to form from King Cool. Original quote: "KING COOL is not improving and has struggled to win for a while but was runner up three times last season. KING COOL has come down in the handicap, is a course winner and fitness should not be an issue so…

Another top win for this improving hurdler. Original quote: "SEABORN was disappointing at Stratford in a messy race first time out for me but put things right with a decent win next time out. Handicapper took a dim view and SEABORN has gone up a whopping 13 pounds since then. Decent claimer on board today…

Easy win for Gary's horse. Original quote: "QULOOB has run a couple of times on the flat recently and placed in good company so fitness is not an issue today. I should think ground conditions may be softer than expected, but I think QULOOB has decent claims today."

Promising run from Jamie's horse - one to note. Original quote: "Sazerak wasn’t beaten far on debut last season on soft ground. This better ground should be more suitable and the Penny seems to have dropped at home. She’d have every chance here."

Great call from Gary - easy winner at 5/1! Original quote: "Been working well at home. Hopefully the drop back in distance (1m from 1m2f) will suit and see the horse run well. Hector Crouch rides and we've also been dropped 2lbs from the last run. Competitive, but looks to have decent claims."

Close-up third and based on that run should be winning in a similar grade soon. Original quote: "A strong chance here today. Well at home and much better for a return run here at the start of the month - well drawn (1) and the race should suit. Hector Crouch rides and knows the horse…

Improved run from Harry's horse on only it's second run. Original quote: "Lovely debut run when fourth (of 12) at Kempton in the AW. Running over a similar trip here and we've given him a lot of time to get over that run. Has progressed at home again and looking forward to getting him out…

Ran a much better race to take second. Original quote: "Drawn 12 and that might not be a bad thing here as likely to come over this side. Horse blew up a bit last time at Wolverhampton as that came off a 285 day break, but is much better for it. Poor race gives us…

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "In good form and won't mind the ground, but only niggle is the longer trip (1m2f) again here. Failed to see it out last time at Yarmouth, but a pound lower and Hector, who gets on well with the horse, is back in the saddle - so…

A slightly suprising winner, but did it well and looks a horse to follow.  Original quote: "Another of ours today returning from a break after last seen falling at Ludlow back in Feb. Has done well at home since and will be much more at home on this good ground. Richard Johnston rides and he's…
