Spot on from Julia - nice call at 6/1! Original quote: "Tallulahs Quest - Is a lovely filly we bought from the breeze-up sales last year, but she has never stopped growing. She is on a nice mark for her handicap debut though and I will be disappointed if she is not in the money."

Spot on from Gary - each-way money collected at 20/1. Original quote: "Vikekhal - Up in trip here, but hoping that will help bring out some improvement. Competitive race but was a fair third last time out and if running to that level again would have an each-way chance."

Great winner for Jamie and the team. Original quote: "Our Three Sons - Is up in the handicap after a couple of wins early this summer but was a creditable second last time out and should again have place claims today with the Skelton horse the one we've all got to beat."

Ran on well to take the each-way money in third at 16/1. Original quote: "Princesse Fleur - Has run quite well the last two starts - but this looks competitive for the grade. A bit of ease in the ground would help her though - small each-way chance."

Won for the second time here at Chester - top call from Dave and a double on the day for the yard. Original quote: "Storm King - Won here at the May Meeting so we know the track suits. Went off too fast last time out at Epsom but does like to race up with…

Won this race for a second time - top effort from Dave's classy sprinter. Original quote: "Take Cover ran a cracker at Royal Ascot to be 5th in the King's Stand. Has come out of that race really well and been working amazingly recently. Should be easier for him now into Listed company - as…

Another top run in a decent handicap from this improving horse. Original quote: "Big Country - Been a busy horse of late, but has taken his racing well. Ran well for much of the way last week in the Old Newton Cup. That was over 1m4f so this drop back in trip is a plus…

Almost stole this from the front - but still landed the each-way money. Original quote: "Kapersky - Has done well since Royal Ascot - ticking over nicely. That said, this is a hot race with two main dangers in Mutakayyef, who won this race 12 months ago, and Sovereign Debt. Only 7 runners, but the…

Great ride and a great call from Mick. Original quote: "Danzeno - Ran a cracker to be 5th in the Wokingham and only beaten 1 1/2 lengths that day. Gets in here off the same mark so every chance of going close again. Tough race, but the horse is well and SDS an obvious plus…

Spot-on call from Scott. Original quote: "Nellies Dancer - Josie Gordon booked to ride and if all 8 run then I think we've got a fair each-way chance here at a nice price. Dropped 3lbs for her recent Doncaster run but te return to 7f (from 6f) is a plus. Moi Aussie and Daring Guest…

Top call from Charlie - looks a really pregressive sort! Original quote: "Fire Tree - A good winner last time out at Wetherby and a 7lb rise for that 3 length win looks fair. Apprentice race here though and Paddy claims a handy 5lbs so we are only 2lbs higher than that last win anyway.…

Only just failed to get up, but each-way money still landed at 10/1. Original quote: "Hakam - Has been a bit in-and-out of late, but returned to form last time over in Sweden when running 4th of 11 in a decent race. Has had a few months off to get over that but seems well…

Looks a horse to follow after this decent effort. Original quote: "Flight Of Fantasy - Down the field last time at Lingfield, but that was in a hot Listed contest so this drop back to Handicap company will help. Had a break since, but is well at home so if staying this longer trip then…

A nice run back from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Milky Way - A long time off so the bounce factor a worry. Going nicely at home but worried the distance might be a bit on the sharp side for him."

Landed the each-way money at 10/1. Original quote: "Sellingallthetime - Recent winner Beach Break looks a big danger, but we head here off the back of three decent runs so if the remaining 8 stand their ground then look to have a fair each-way chance. Back into a Class 4 helps and down a pound…

Another solid each-way run from Dave's horse. Original quote: "Archimedes - Ran better last time and hoping to improve on that good form so hopeful of a good run. Looks a competitive race so each-way call, but conditions in his favour and expecting a decent effort."

No chance with the winner, but still landed the each-way money. Original quote: "Jack Nevison - Second two starts back, but failed to build on that on debut run for us last time at Doncaster. Still finding our feet with the horse as not been with us long, but this drop in grade and being…
