Looks a nice prospect for the Snowden yard. Original quote: "Up For Parol won impressively last time out at Wetherby when we dropped him back in trip. This looks a good opportunity under a penalty but there is one of Nicky's running which could be dangerous. However, I'd not swap our chap and he is…

1st Apr 2021 Result 2nd 5/1 – Beat The Breeze – Simon Dow Chelmsford
Another solid run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Had a good Winter and looked liked there was still more to come last start. Worth a try at this trip with regular rider though looks to have a strong favourite to aim at. Seems in good form."

1st Apr 2021 Result 2nd 13/2 – Capla Spirit – Gay Kelleway Chelmsford
Nice run from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Nice draw in stall 3 and dropped 4lbs from his last run here when down the field. Pulled a bit too hard that day so will need to settle better here. Slight ease in grade will help but still 2lbs higher than last win so even though we…

30th Mar 2021 Result 2nd 9/2 – Benatar – Gary Moore Warwick
Better run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "A horse that's had his troubles - classy on his day, but hasn't won now since 2017 - but that was a G2 Novices' Chase! Been below par this year after a good third in the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup back in Dec. We are now down in…

29th Mar 2021 Result 3rd 9/1 – Corri Lindo – Henry Oliver Stratford upon Avon
Plugged on well to take third. Original quote: "Old timer at 11, but into a Selling Hurdle here should give him a chance. Acts on all ground so the quicker surface here is okay and versatile with the trip too. Sam Twiston-Davies rides for the first time but that's an obvious plus, so even though…

29th Mar 2021 Result 1st 5/6 – Furlough Me – Gary Moore Fontwell Park
Looks a nice prospect in the making. Original quote: "Probably stating the obvious - but looks one of our best chances on the day. A nice horse and pleased on debut at Wincanton (3rd) on debut. Has come out of that race well and should have a big chance of getting off the mark here.…

29th Mar 2021 Result 1st 5/2 – Episode – Gary Moore Fontwell Park
First win for this Gary Moore runner. Original quote: "Only four runners now so that helps, but still doesn't look a great race. This horse is yet to win a race (13 runs), but ran okay at Leicester last time - just getting tired at the end. Therefore, the slightly shorter trip will help as…

29th Mar 2021 Result 2nd 6/1 – Distingo – Gary Moore Fontwell Park
Ran on well to take second. Original quote: "Last seen running well (4th) in a jumpers bumper on the AW in Feb. Back over hurdles here and a fairly consistent sort over the sticks with 7 top three finishes from 20 runs. Ground okay and maybe a small bit to prove over this longer trip,…

29th Mar 2021 Result 1st 2/1 – Jersey Wonder – Oliver Sherwood Fontwell Park
Top call from Oliver Original quote: "Jersey Wonder is tackling a longer trip today which should suit him now he’s got the hang of hurdling. Jersey Wonder ran really well here on his most recent outing (3rd) and the ground that wasn’t suitable (soft), but I really like the way he knuckled down in the…

29th Mar 2021 Result 2nd 9/2 – Bembridge – Oliver Sherwood Fontwell Park
Ran on well to take second for the Sherwood yard. Original quote: " Bembridge is a very backward baby who will fare better once he has a handicap mark and also with another summer on his back. Bembridge is very much the traditional three mile chaser in the making, so anything he does over hurdles…

28th Mar 2021 Result 2nd 5/1 – Bells Of Peterboro – Tim Vaughan Ascot
Solid run from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Done well this season so far with a 4-1-2 from his three races. Those have come with a lot more cut in the ground than he's likely to get here, but should still be fine on the ground. Has crept up another 5lbs in the handicap though, so…

28th Mar 2021 Result 2nd 3/1 – Blow Your Horn – Charlie Fellowes Doncaster
Ran on well for Charlie. Original quote: "Has been desperately unlucky over the winter on the all weather, getting bad draw after bad draw. He is drawn wide (13) again today but that’s not a bad thing at Doncaster. 12 furlongs around here should suit him well and should be in the thick of things…

28th Mar 2021 Result 1st 9/4 – Singlefarmpayment – Henry Oliver Ascot
Great win for this popular horse. Original quote: "Has been a frustrating character over the years but certainly has ability. Got tired last time out at Newbury and weakened in the end in a similar Veterans race, but has been dropped 4lbs for that and should be a lot sharper for that too. Will love…

Ran on well to take second. Original quote: "Pulled up the last day at Southwell (Aug 20) - never really travelling. But has had a wind op since that run and a break and ready to run again. Blinkers are also on today to help and seems well at home, plus favours a quicker surface…

27th Mar 2021 Result 3rd 50/1 – Maketh Believeth – Harry Dunlop Kempton Park
Promising run from Harry's horse. Original quote: "Nice colt that should enjoy the slightly longer trip, but will need to improve from what we saw on debut and likely to need more time and a handicap mark."

27th Mar 2021 Result 1st 7/2 – Scale Force – Gay Kelleway Wolverhampton
Top win for Gay and Hollie! Original quote: "You guessed it - Hollie rides again, no she's not my new stable jockey! But an obvious plus and this 5 year-old should help her being in good form himself. A good record spell on the fibresand at Southwell, but just as good here at Wolverhampton (CD…

26th Mar 2021 Result 1st 7/1 – Caldwell – Michael Scudamore Musselburgh
Well done to the Michael Scudamore yard and another nice TQ View winner too. Original quote: "Going the right way after an improved second at Kelso last time out - into a handicap for the first time today will help and will be fine on the better ground. Also met many of these at Kelso…
