Nice call from Harry. Original quote: "Didn't run too bad last time at Wincanton over 2m4f - just getting tired in the closing stages. Therefore, the drop back to 2m here will help and hopeful she can stay prominent for longer this time off a 3lb lower mark. Much softer ground here today too but…

Ran on well to take second. Original quote: "Consistent sprinter but is yet to get off the mark for us since coming over to our yard. Down to lowest mark since coming to us and 3lbs less than last time. Back into a Class 3 helps and a good draw in 2. Not without an…

Ran on take the e/w money. Original quote: "Gelded since last seen when running down the field here. That came over 1m2f though - a trip a bit on the short side for him. Prior to that ran well to be second over 1m6f and so this longer trip here today will be more in…

Only just touched off. Original quote: "Thomas Macdonagh won three races over hurdles the season before last.  He won a novice chase last season and was placed on three other occasions. Unfortunately, he didn't take to the Grand National fences in the Grand Sefton earlier this season, and he is therefore on a comeback mission…

Nice run from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Delighted with his first run for the yard here last time (2nd) - likes to get on with things so that will hopefully be the plan here. Same mark as last time and Luke Morris a plus in the saddle. If running to the same level last time…

Landed the e/w money. Original quote: "A step forward last time out. Typically competitive handicap and wide draw to overcome. Big raw type but place claims nonetheless."

Nice run from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Second runner in the race for us. Well back the last twice here so hard to fancy until we see more. The positives are that he’s 3lbs lower this time and we are trying the blinkers on for the first time. Hopefully the headgear will help, but best-watched…

Another nice TQ View winner this month. Original quote: "Former Godolphin horse that is lightly-raced and returned to the track at Chelmsford earlier this month with a close second. Up 2lbs for that run looks fair and Marco Ghiani, who was on last time, is booked to ride again. Looks a race with 4 or…

Top winner for Jamie and the team. Original quote: "Representing Bob is out of a winning Bob Back mare and from the family of the Gold Cup winner, Synchronised. Representing Bob wasn’t beaten far in a bumper, but looked green and backward in three hurdle starts last season.  However, he picked up a low handicap…

Another nice TQ View winner this month. Original quote: "Delighted with his return run at Ffos Las last month - wasn’t beaten far into third. Similar conditions here but a slightly better race up in grade so more needed. But has a consistent profile - with 8 top three finishes from 13 runs over hurdles…

Another top TQ View pick this week. Original quote: "Nice horse that wasn’t disgraced last time out at Doncaster in the Grade Two Summit Juvenile Hurdle - the winner looks a nice sort too. Softer ground here will help and has come out of that last race well. Beat Magistrato in France back in April…

Won with a bit to spare. Original quote: "3-time winner in the flat. Followed another of ours home the last day here when second and gets in here off the same mark. We are putting up Niall this time though to claim 3lbs. Up in trip here to 2m3f will be fine as just seemed…

Second winner on the day for the Moore team Original quote: "Has done well in his two races since joining us - both came at Cheltenham. Even though it’s hard to know much about the others in the race, this contest looks a lot easier that those last races and really should be getting off…

Better run here for Henry's horse. Original quote: "Hasn’t fired so far this season with three average runs. Down another 4lbs here and Alex takes off another 3lbs so that helps. Back to a track we know he likes too (course winner) while the drop back in trip on this softer ground will be fine.…

Top call from Gary and another nice TW VIEW winner too. Original quote: "Former Pointer that is having his debut run under rules and for us. Has settled in well and jumps well enough but likely to learn a bit here so just nice to get going with him and we’ll go from there. He’s…

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Been running well recently without winning, including a second (of 14) here last time out. Escapes a rise in the handicap for that but in this ride in grade we've got 5lbs less to carry this time. Draw 11 probably not ideal but stayed on well the…

Just denied. Original quote: "In good heart at the moment with a couple of seconds in recent runs at Newcastle and Kempton. Has run well here at Southwell in the past (fibresand) but the new surface should be fine for him. Same mark as the last twice, but George rides this time to claim 3lbs,…

Nice run from Scott's horse. Original quote: "One of our better chances on the day. Happy with her first run for the yard, after coming over from France, last time when third here over this trip. Same mark but is 2lbs better off with Jonathan riding to claim 5lbs this time (Jack Duern rode last…

Placed for the Dunlop yard. Original quote: "0-from-11 but almost got off the mark last time when a head second at Chelmsford. Up 3lbs for that here but he was only headed in the final stages that day and we are slightly better drawn this time in 4 (last time 6). Probably have Porfin as…

Nice winner and another TQ View success this month too. Original quote: "Yet to win a race but has been knocking at the door recently. A fair third at Chelmsford last time out off this mark but we are jocking up Rhys Clutterbuck this time to claim 5lbs. Trip is fine and has run okay…
