Another fair run from Gary's 6 year-old. Original quote: "Proving a bit frustrating as certainly has the ability to win a race like this over hurdles. That said, has still been running well in similar races this season and looks to have another decent chance of getting off the mark over hurdles. Track experience last…

Solid run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Small quite neat filly who has hinted at ability and probably capable in this sort of race. Will stay further in time and not without a chance if handling the conditions."

Ran on well to win for the Griffiths yard. Original quote: "Ran okay at Musselburgh last time - better than positions suggested as was a bit unlucky in the race being short of room. Back on the AW here and dropped a pound helps, plus the useful Laura Pearson booked to ride to claim 5lbs.…

Led home a TQ 1-2 for the Oliver yard. Original quote: "Returned to form last time at Hereford with a fair second. Had a light racing weight that day and does do again here (10-2), while the drop back in trip will be a plus after just running out of petrol over 2 furlongs longer…

Solid run here from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Back from a break after losing his way a bit and having a few problems - hence the time out. Nice to get back going with him and at least he gets back on a fair mark - especially with Charlie's 5lb claim too. Will love the…

Beat the 1/4 fav! Original quote: "The horse to beat on paper is Boss Power of Sir Michael Stoute’s who was impressive last time out and I feel will be hard to beat even with a 5lb penalty. Amazing Red is in good form and should run well. Mark Crehan takes the ride claiming 5lb."

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Well handicapped these days though not certain to be suited by a drop back in trip. Is inclined to over race and get excited in the preliminaries and needs a confidence booster. Well drawn and top jockey booked so can't be easily discounted."

Spot on from Gary - a neck second at 50/1! Original quote: "Nice draw in 4 helps. Ran okay to be 5th of 10 at Lingfield last time out in a similar race, yet to win from 10 tries on the AW though, and often placed more than he wins overall. Jockey helps with his…

Top run from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Lovely horse that's done well since going hurdling - winning twice. Ran well behind the useful My Drogo at Kelso last time (2nd) in a Grade Two - the form of that race looks decent and after just getting a bit tired in the closing stages the drop…

Great call from Julia. Original quote: "Won well last week and went up 7lbs which was a bit harsh so we have to go here today under a penalty, but this is a lower grade than last week and she will not qualify for this grade again. She is a big filly so can carry…

Top winner at Aintree for Gary and the team. Original quote: "Delighted with his win at Newbury last time out - up 7lbs for that, but in this better race we get in with a lovely racing weight of just 10st 9lbs. He's come out of that race very well and will love the ground…

Ran on well to take second. Original quote: "CD winner and should hopefully find this easier now into a Classified Stakes race, seeing he is one of the joint top-rated in the field too. Needs to find some old form, but only fourth run for us since joining the yard so hopeful there is more…

Step forward here for this Kubler runner.   Original quote: "A big scopey horse who has been gelded over the winter, he ran well for a long way at Newbury on debut on heavy ground last year before tiring late on. He is just ready to start out again this season we're hopeful he can…

Solid run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Good record here and ran as good as ever in a better race here over this trip on Saturday. Wide draw yet again no help but should be thereabouts if Saturday's efforts have not taken their toll."

Top winner for Simon. Original quote: "Wide passage last time on return after a minor injury. Well drawn today and back down in grade so highly likely to be involved at a big price though the race will bring him on again."

Powered home for the Fellowes yard. Original quote: "Billhilly has been gelded since he last ran and had a holiday. This is a fact-finding mission today as we are dropping back in trip significantly but he has been showing a lot of speed at home. He has a good draw though so at least that…

Top winner for Gary and the team. Original quote: "A nice second here over this course and distance last time. Gets in off the same mark and should have a similar chance. Only negative is the wide draw in 14, so certainly not going to be easy from there. But does like to come from…

Nice run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Paseo was pretty disappointing last Autumn and because he can’t handle soft ground - since then he’s had a good long break in anticipation of a spring campaign so heads here fresh and well. He loves his jumping and will like conditions so even though he's likely to…
