Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "A much improved run from TIEPOLO on his second start putting a poor first effort firmly behind him. If TIEPOLO has improved again with the benefit of racecourse experience then I expect him to be close up at the finish."

Managed to get over and defy the draw for Mick. Original quote: "Guishan - Won well two starts ago and not disgraced last time when 4th of 20 at Ripon. First ever run here at Chester so should suit, but draw 11 not ideal so might find it tough from there and use up too…

Held on by a neck for Simon - top stuff! Original quote: "El Borracho - Good sort who has looked like he wants further for some time. Still inexperienced but has a chance if he settles and the race falls right for him."

Great shout from Jamie - looks an improving chaser. Original quote: "Adrrastos - won well on chasing debut last time out. The trip and track should suit him well and he looks to have another decent chance today and only Going For Broke looks to be the danger."

Ran on well to take second for Gary. Original quote: "FLASHMAN is a winner over fences and I am hoping that if he does not need the run that he will run well fresh. FLASHMAN has had a nice break from the track to freshen up but has been doing plenty of solid consistent work…

Another top run from this old-boy! Original quote: "Riptide - He is a grand old servant and was third here and his last run in a similar event. Slightly up in trip but thats all fine, grounds fine for him and his in good form- the Prescott horse will be hard to beat but he…

Spot on a again from Julia Original quote: "Appease - Had his first run for me at Yarmouth last time, he ran well but didn't stay a mile 2f. He is in a lower grade today and back to a mile with a light weight. He should have a good each way chance at a…

A double on the day for Julia Original quote: "Secret Strategy - He had no chance with his wide draw at Wolverhampton and probably needed the run. Course and distance winner today will hopefully run a better race in this small field."

Another Moore Winner Original quote: "Sing Out Loud - Ran ok first time.  Hopefully he can improve on that and if so, should have reasonable chance."

Another 4* winner for Mick Original quote: "Percys Princess: She has done really well for me winning three races this season but as a result gone up the handicap and carries top weight today. She didn’t run well on the last run but that was over 2 furlongs less and on softer going. I’m hoping…

Another good call by Jane Original quote: "Avenue Des Champs - back with cheekpieces today to keep him concentrated on the job, hope we bounce back after not handling Pontefract so small each way chance today."

Sc's horses doing well at the moment. Original quote: "Benenden - Was just starting to get into the race last time when a bad mistake knocked him back. Back over hurdles today is in great form at home and conditions should be perfect, each way chances."

Another placed horse for team Appleby Original quote: "Sean O'Casey - Bolted up on his first run for me and has had excuses since. He has come down the handicap, has ability and I’m hoping for a better run at a decent price leaving the last two runs behind him."

Stayed on to win at 8/1 Original quote: "Cryptonite - Janes takes 5lbs off but just one place on turf in his career thus far and steps down in trip so may struggle to keep tabs on them around here. Hopefully he’ll be staying on."

Well done team Appleby 2nd at 8/1. Original quote: "Qeyaadah - Another with winning form stepping up in grade today. I think he’ll find this tough today against the Johnston & Gosden runners."

Great run and likes Newmarket Original quote: "Amourice - has only ever run at Newmarket and really appreciated the soft ground last time to get placed. Expecting the same today as she really is a better horse with cut so has a good each way chance today at a nice price."

Well done with this consistant mare. Original quote: "Guishan - She dotted up last time on heavy ground. She has gone up 6lbs for that, steps up in grade to this ultra-competitive race on quicker ground. They won’t win if you don’t run them and she is in great form but it would be a…

Just got up in the thrilling finish! Original quote: "Case Key - He was third in this last year and he is 3lbs lower today. Also that was on faster ground and I think he’d prefer that. I’m hopeful of a place but not confidant."

Not the result we were expecting! Original quote: "Sir Geoffrey - A course and distance winner who’s not quite back to his winning mark and couldn’t get his head in front at an early stage last time which he likes to do. The ground will suit him better today and if he gets to the…

The trip was well worth it! Original quote: "State Sovereignty - Been in good form on the flat improving with her every run and bumped into a nice type last time. Has come out of the last race well, this looks on paper between the top 3 in market conditions should be fine. It’s a…
