Top winner for this Michael Scudamore runner. Original quote: "Had an excuse last time as lost a shoe in the race so can ignore that run at Ascot. Dropped 4lbs though helps and we've given him a break since. Has shown ability, but still a maiden (8 runs) - however, this is only his second…

Nice debut run for the Snowden yard. Original quote: "Skandiburg is making his debut for us this afternoon. He has some good hurdling form to his name, but hasn't looked the most natural over a fence this season. He arrived with us a few months ago now, and he should appreciate being back over the…

Place money landed, but threw away the race in the closing stages by hanging! Original quote: "Lovely horse that came to us at the end of last year. Won well on debut for us at Aintree and ran a cracker to be second to the useful Ibleo at Doncaster last time. Trying him back up…

Much improved run from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Nice horse that won twice earlier this season at Ffos Las and Ayr. Highly-tried last time in the Tolworth but never ran a yard that day and wasn't his true running. Another tough race here today for this Grade Two Novice and better ground is fine -…

Gutsy win for Dave's speedy front-runner! Original quote: "Ran well last week in a Listed Hever Sprint Stakes here - just getting run out of things in the closing stages. Back into a handicap here helps and draw 4 if fine. Should blast out again and another bold bid from the front on the cards,…

Another decent run from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Gaining more experience by each race after two fair runs at Wetherby and Warwick since coming to us from the Dermot Weld yard. Yes, beaten a fair way in 2nd and 4th in those races but stripping fitter and the form of his last run has been…

Great call from Gary. Original quote: "Pulled up at Chepstow the last day after making a few mistakes, but is better than that and had run well in his three previous runs this season. Down another pound here and drop in trip is fine, plus will be more at home on this good ground. Hopeful…

Nice welcome winner for Simon and the team. Original quote: "Great record at this track and with this rider. Small fields are not ideal for him and not hugely well treated but sure to run his race. Stable is on a losing run at the moment."

Each-way money landed. Original quote: "Won a couple of races in February and wasn't disgraced at Southwell last time off a 5lbs higher mark (3rd). Up another pound here but back in grade helps, while we've got a 7lb claimer on this time too to help with the rise in the ratings. Another bold bid…

Solid run from Ed's horse. Original quote: "He has been in good form at home and ran consistently all last campaign. We have gelded him since his last start and this should hopefully bring out some further improvement. It looks a competitive race with the horses to beat on paper looking to be Sky Defender…

Nice run from Harry's horse Original quote: "Looks a race that is probably between us, the Kirk, Hannon and Cox runners. Our filly sets a fair standard on what she's done to date, but does need to bounce back from a poor run at Kempton last time. Probably a bit to answer over this 7f…

Nice run at 11/1 from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Persistent maiden who has some fair form here though badly interfered with in a similar event last time in a tragic accident. He must go in in the end and sure to be thereabouts if things fall right for him from a good draw (2)."

Nice run from Lee's horse. Original quote: "A horse we know well and is having her third run back with us and this will also be her 50th career outing too. Had a break since running last October and into a Classified Stakes race here in what looks a very tight affair. Nice draw in…

Stayed on well and only just failed to get up. Original quote: "Fair run at Wolves last time (5th) but lost all chance really by pulling too hard and racing freely. Drop in trip here back to 7f should hopefully see them go quicker and hoping that will make him settle. Down a pound and…

Spot on from Charlie. Original quote: "Carnwennan hated Wolverhampton last time out which wasn’t a massive surprise. On his run the time before over course and distance he has a massive chance as he gets a big pull in the weights from the other horses he met that day."

Place money landed. Original quote: "EPISODE struggles on heavy going and has missed several engagements as the going has been too extreme. Hopefully conditions will be favourable today and she can build on a decent second last time out over fences at Fakenham. I would not take much notice of her run at Lingfield in…

Another nice TQ view winner this month. Original quote: "Highly-tried last time out at Newmarket on the flat in the Cesarewitch Handicap. Had a break since and is back over hurdles here. Seems to have improved since he last ran over hurdles, with some top runs on the level at the end of last flat…

Promising run from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Nice mare that came to us from the Harry Whittington yard and is having her first run for us today. Not been on the track since Dec 19 though as had some issues but lightly-raced and has shown a fair level of form in the past. May just…

Easy win for Gary's horse. Original quote: "A nice horse, but no penalty kick here. Former nice flat horse but has run into a few over hurdles and still learning his new trade. Ran a close second here two runs back too so the track is fine. Competitive little race which hopefully he can win…

Another top win for this improving chaser. Original quote: "In great form - winning his last four. Up another 6lbs in the ratings so certainly no penalty kick here, especially with the Nicholls horse a fair sort. Just hoping the ground is against the Nicholls horse a bit more than us, but likely to be…
