Landed the each-way money for Scu and the team. Original quote: "Streets Of Promise - Pulled-up last time, but that was in the competitive Eider Chase - probably didn't quite stay that 4m trip. Therefore, the drop back in distance (3m4f) will suit and has won on good ground in the past. Only 4lbs higher…

15th Apr 2017 2nd 10/1 – Murray Mount – Henry Oliver Stratford upon Avon
Solid each-way run from Henry's horse.

Perfect call from Julia. Original quote: "Secret Strategy - Unless something drastic happens this should be going to the favourite - Jumira Bridge.

An easy winner for Tim's horse. Original quote: "Officer Hoolihan - Should take all the beating here. A previous course and distance winner and ran really well last time at Uttoxeter despite finishing second. The step back up in trip is a big plus and is fine on the ground. A poor race, with the…

Great winner for Simon Dow at 33/1! Original quote: "Forceful Appeal - Had a great all weather campaign again and deserves his place on this day but not won at 7f for a while. Inside draw and good apprentice are both positives and could go well at what seems too big a price. Remains in…

Nice call from Jamie! Simply outstayed this lot and looks a fair prospect! Original quote: "Lord Topper was a very pleasing fourth on his hurdling debut at Huntingdon when beaten less than 2 lengths.

Cracking effort - only went down a neck! Original quote: "Sellingallthetime - Back after 200 days off, so goes without saying will improve for the run here. Form tailed off a fair bit last term, so hoping the break has freshened him up, and on a plus he likes it here at Catterick. Last win…

Another solid each-way call from Harry's horse. Original quote: "Miss Tiger Lily - Often runs her race and never far away. Back up to 2m here is fine as she's run well over the course and distance a few times recently. The champion jockey - Jim Crowley - rides so that helps. A race with…
