Another smooth win for Simon's classy horse. Original quote: "Sparkalot - It was a big ask last time and seemed unsuited by the conditions never moving properly. This is more straightforward and could be a confidence booster for him back at a track he kinows well. Likely to be therreabouts if all goes to plan."

Another solid each-way run from Daniel's horse. Original quote: "Av A Word - Not the most consistent and needs the race to set-up right. But if it does then should go close once again."

A solid each-way run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Hindsight - Decent first two runs when third at Redcar and second at Wetherby - seems well after her last run and getting better with each race. Step up to the extended mile and softer ground fine. This looks tougher, but with the experience we are…

Got up in the closing stages to land this for Mick Appleby. Original quote: "Escalating - Consistent sort that has been running very well of late. Course winner here and shows enough pace for this drop back to 5f. Raymond takes off a handy 7lbs from his back too so hoping this will make a…

Top call from James. Original quote: "Optimistic Bias - Step up in trip for him today which should suit. Very open contest and personal best will be required - but with a clear round will take some beating though."

Another solid run from this busy Dave Griffiths horse. Original quote: "Tavener - Second runner in the race for us and both have similar chances. Been a busy horse of late - ran ok last time and the drop to 6f here should be ok. Good draw in 4 so hopeful of a good each-way…

Great call from Gay - looks a promising sort for the yard. Original quote: "Pastime - The Hannon and Haggas horses are the obvious dangers, but we head here with a decent chance too. A 3 year-old we like and ran a cracker to be 2nd at 100/1 last time at Yarmouth. Has come out…

No chance with the winner - but ran on strongly to take 2nd. Original quote: "Pensax Lady was dissapointing last time out, but we have to draw a line through that as the race wasn't run to suit. She is back at Wolves today where she is a dual course winner, so we are hoping…

A promising return from Gary's horse - one to watch next time. Original quote: "Rydan - Coming back from a little break. Capable in this grade but might just need the outing."

Just got up on the line for the Simon Dow team. Original quote: "Galinthias - Some promise through the winter in two all weather maidens and seemed to be too free on handicap debut here on turf last time over a bit further. This might be more suitable and although he has obvious limitations he is…

Wow - another top winner for th Scott Dixon team. Original quote: "Boots and Spurs - Brilliant run on penultimate start at Thirsk - losing narrowly to a well-handicapped rival that had won the Thirsk Cup last year. He hated the ground last time at Leicester as it was very tacky. Unlikely to get that…

Another winner for the in-form Scott Dixon team. Original quote: "Krystallite - Well handicapped on old form and a past CD winner here. Working well at home, but worried about the draw (8). Entitled to come on for the run after 153 days off so - if pushed - probably best-watched this time - but…

Only went down by 3/4 of a length - another top call from Scott. Original quote: "Break The Silence - Returned to action last month with a fair run at Brighton - is a lot sharper for that effort after just over 6 months off. Track and trip are fine, while the ground won't be…

Nice 66/1 3rd for Jane's horse - looks one to follow. Original quote: "Wicker: Only his third run - a bit of a slow learner so is definitely getting better. Trip, track and ground is all fine and with the first-time tongue-tie we are hoping for a bit better today. But likely to rest between…

Plugged on well to take second for Gary. Original quote: "Jay Are: Needed first back after a long time off the track - is much better for it and with track, trip and ground all a plus then hoping for a lot better today - looks to have a reasonable chance."

Looks a horse to follow after a nice 2nd here at 16/1 Original quote: "Mearing - Is a nice little horse and is ready to run. The rain won't be a problem and he might run well on debut."

Another top call from Scott! Original quote: "Misu Moneypenny - Wasn't herself in March on the AW and found 7f too far on seasonal reappearance at Brighton. This is much more suitable and is in great nick at home. On a fair mark and should run well."

Ran on well to take third for the Mick Appleby camp. Original quote: "Flying Fantasy - Been running well if late, but first run for me after coming from the Stuart Williams yard. We are trying him back to 7f (has won over this trip). Track and ground are fine and has run well here…

Spot-on from Julia - cracking each-way shout at 25/1 (was 100/1 in the morning!!)! Original quote: "Terri Rules - Ran well at Newmarket on her first run - she didn't see out the 6f last time so the drop back to 5f here will suit. I can't believe her price and think she has a…
