Atomise ran very well in a hot race last time. This is much easier and she should love the track and ground.

Ran on well to take second. Original quote: "Found 6f too sharp last time out so this step up should suit him nicely. The track is perfect and hopefully he can get his head in front before the sales next week."

Plugged on well to take fourth. Original quote: "Another in the race for us. Yet to win over fences (7 runs) but has been in the top three 5 times. Last seen running second at Uttoxeter in July over hurdles and off the same mark here over fences. Ground okay, but any rain would be…

Solid run from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Fact of the Matter has been a legend over the years and has won twice here at Cheltenham, the latest of which was in a cross country event.  He has slipped down the ratings and was a good 2nd last time out.  This is more competitive, but likely…

Ran on well - looks a promising sort. Original quote: "Is a nice colt with a bright future. He should love the soft ground and Donny is a lovely place to start horses off at. I doubt he will be winning but he should run well."

Stayed on really well for the Gary Moore yard. Original quote: "All four career wins so far have been on the flat, had 7 runs over hurdles. Last seen at Plumpton running fourth of 12 there but will be better for that run and in this slightly better race with a lighter racing weight. Trying…

Top winner for Jmaie - beating the odds on chance. Original quote: "Is by Coastal Path from the family of Silviniaco Conti and Cheltenham Festival winner, Eglantine Du Seuil.  He was 2nd in two 3-year-old bumpers in France last season before he bolted up over hurdles at Fontainebleau on the 23rd February where he made-all…

Just nailed on the line, but still a top return at 16/1 Original quote: "11 years-old now but we still feel he's enjoying his racing for now and is starting to look very well handicapped off a mark of 99. Down 6lbs from last time when down the field at Statford a few weeks ago.…

Solid run from Ed's horse. Original quote: "Probably our best chance on the day - third career run and took a big step forward last time out here (3rd). We take on the second that day again too - Al Nafir - on the same terms and were just a neck behind that Godolphin horse…

Nice to see this horse winning again. Original quote: "We won this race 12 months ago with another horse so trying again this year with Darabin. Needed the run last time out here earlier this month, but finished his race off well despite having no chance with the winner that day. 2lbs lower and the…

Cracking winner for Gary. Original quote: "2-time winner in France. We took him out of a race at Plumpton on Monday as needs more cut in the ground really. Therefore, any more rain a big plus, but did well enough on debut for us at this track 3 weeks ago - just getting a bit…

Top winner for Ed. Original quote: "Fair run on debut at HQ, but should find things easier here in a fillies' only race and racing against her own sex. Seems to have learned a lot from that debut run too and no surprise to see a step forward here. The unraced Beckett and Varian horses…

Fair run from Gary's horse in tough conditions. Original quote: "Had a great time of it last season - winning three times. As a result shot up the handicap but won off only a pound lower mark last time at Chepstow. Trip and ground fine and has gone well fresh in the past. Should go…

Ran on well to be a close 3rd. Original quote: "Ran a great race over course and distance last week and is due to go up in the handicap after today. The softer ground will suit her better and she should have learnt plenty last week. She can go well."

Fair run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Went off too hard on his return recently after a break and the run can be ignored. All his form so far is at 10f but at this level he might get away with a slight reduction and top rider booked. No surprise to see him thereabouts if…

Just went down a short head. Original quote: "Not beaten far on handicap debut and seems in top form. Probably has the favourite to beat who she meets on better terms here than last time. Top rider takes over though has a wide draw to overcome but should have a leading chance if things go…

Another top TQ View winner this month. Original quote: "Ivynator has been incredibly unlucky this year and desperately deserves to win one. Half the problem has been him running over the wrong trip (my fault). This should suit him this evening but the draw complicates things. He can go well with a bit of luck."

Easy first win over hurdles for Gary's horse. Original quote: "Despite yet to win over the sticks, rose up the hurdles ranks last season and after a spin on the flat to blow away the cobwebs is back for more over obstacles today. Has improved for that last run and this looks a nice race…

Each-way money landed with ease here - backed in from much bigger prices too. Original quote: "Braveheart is out of a sister to four black typed horses and by Westerner, the sire of multiple Grade 1 jumpers. He had one 'sighter' in an Irish point, but then covid put pay to pointing, so he was…

Spot on from Scott. Original quote: "Fair sprinter on his day and returned to form last time out at York with a neck second last week. Up 4lbs for that run but has come out of that race well and Kieran O'Neill, who was riding last time, remains in the saddle. Very open race that…
