Another top winner on the day for the Dow camp. Original quote: "Pleasing debut recently and sure to have benefitted from the experience. Looks a fair novice for this time of year but he should be involved if he builds on his first run and has been round Lingfield in a Barrier trial. Looks a…

2nd Jan 2021 Result 1st 6/1 – Apollinaris – Simon Dow Lingfield Park
Stayed on well to win with a bit to spare. Original quote: "Worth a try at this trip as been outpaced over shorter in two starts for us. Shapes as if there are races to come for him and should be thereabouts if things go well for him and he stays settled."

1st Jan 2021 Result 3rd 17/2 – Engrave – Julia Feilden Southwell
Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Makes her Fibresand debut but on breeding and running style should suit. Looked like she just needed the run the last time but still only beaten 2 lengths. In good form at home and hopefully will get the slightly longer trip. Each-way chance."

Plugged on well to take second. Original quote: "One of two in the race for us and hard to split my two - both have chances, but then it looks a race that all 5 do too! This 8 year-old ran here just 3 days ago (5th) but had an excuse that day as fluffed…

1st Jan 2021 Result 1st 16/5 – Samovar – Scott Dixon Southwell
Gained a much-deserved win. Original quote: "Plenty written about this horse recently - as we know he's a horse that takes his racing well and always tries. Does have a habit of finding a few too good in his races though but is never far away. No let-up from the handicapper still though and on…
