Nice winner for Simon. Original quote: "Looked like a return to form last time and with conditions similar he can be expected to run well again. Well handicapped on very old form but has a worthy favourite to beat here and will need to have progressed further but no surprise if he does."

Nice TQ View return. Original quote: "Between the Waters has been a pretty consistent performer over the last few years, but last season never really happened for him and he picked up an injury too. He ran well on comeback to be 4th on seasonal debut, and was 2nd last time out.  He should be…

Spot on from Julia. Original quote: "Alibaba has been running consistently well this year, the track and trip should suit but he wouldn’t want too much rain. Should be thereabouts again but the Archie Watson horse will be hard to beat."

Nice run from Dave's horse. Original quote: "Not beaten far last time (1 1/2 lengths), when 5th of 10 at Donny. Same mark here and Jo Mason rides again to claim 3lbs. Slight drop back in trip is okay and still taking his racing well desite now being 11 years-old. Rose Bandit and Atyaaf are…

Top run from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Only career win came over this trip at Ascot back in 2019. Has struggled a bit off higher marks since but is now 6lbs lower than that last victory. Trip and ground are fine but looks a competitive race for the grade and does need to find some…

Great TQ View winner at 16/1 !! Original quote: "Atrium made a really encouraging debut at Doncaster recently and should have come on plenty for that. We have got to turn it around with Mr Gosden’s horse which may not be easy but we should get closer to him."

Just failed by a head. Original quote: "Looks an open race but we come here in winning form after a nice success at Catterick back in May. Had a few months off after that race to freshen up but only 3lbs higher and has done well at home since. Any more rain would help too…

Looking to build on a promising first run - question mark about the softer going though here today.

Nice run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Untried on turf but no reason why it won't suit her and she seems in good shape. Stays well and a light framed filly so likely to go in the ground, sure to go in somewhere."

Step back in the right direction. Original quote: "Won well at Brighton and Windsor earlier this year and had excuses last time at Sandown when not getting the best of runs. Is also stepping up in trip here (1m2f), but we feel that’s what he’s wanting and breeding suggests it’s worth a crack. Also handled…

Solid run from Ed's horse. Original quote: "He produced a gutsy display last time out at Ripon to win and has been in good form at home since this. It looks a good option for him here with Broomy Law the horse to beat in the market. Mark Crehan who claims 3lb takes the ride."

Placed again. Original quote: "Well supported last time at Brighton but only managed third. Ran on well that day after getting a bit outpaced in the middle part of the race, so the step up to 1m1f (from 7f) will be a big plus. Down a pound and Rhys booked to calim 5lbs too. Hopeful…

Fair effort from this James Evans runner. Original quote: "Back from a break. Seems well at home so if he can settle and handles the ground then should be thereabouts,"

Improved run from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Back from around 5 months off so might just need this run to blow away the cobwebs. Does, however, return on a career-low mark and the experienced Robert Havlin booked to ride. Isn't the quickest, but is starting to look well handicapped - just need to see more…

Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "She has been unfortunate on her last few starts and has been running very competitively. She was too far back here last start and made up a huge amount of ground to finish third. She should hopefully be running another competitive race here today although she will…

Ran well for Harry Dunlop. Original quote: "Three promising runs in maidens so gets a handicap mark here now and makes his debut in this grade. Been staying on well over 1m2f so the step up to 1m4f will suit. The cheekpieces are on today to help him settle too - the Roger Charlton runner…
