Another cracking effort from Mick's horse - just getting chinned on the line, but at 10/1 each-way money landed. Original quote: "Call Out Loud: In the form of his life at the moment - winning his last three. Beat Custard The Dragon by a length last time, but that horse has a 6lb weight pull…

Broke well this time and was not for catching! Original quote: "Crosse Fire - Anticipated the break last time out over course and distance and as a result got it all wrong and missed it badly. Has jumped out of the stalls very well this week and hoping he can bounce back here."

Well-backed but a much better price in the morning - Another TQ View winner! Original quote: "Grace Tara: Slightly disappointing at Southwell last time, but has been freshened up since then. This is a very weak race and if she comes back to the form of some of the races before has to have a…

A solid each-way run in second from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Hopefully the good ground will bring Bagging Turf back to winning ways. She's working well at home and should have every chance at a course she's a proven course and distance winner at. Each-way claims. "

Always up with the pace - won well in the end and nice call from Gary. Original quote: "Ryeolliean: Working nicely at home. Think the track will suit and hopeful of a big run. If all 8 stand their ground then hoping for a solid each-way effort with ground, track and trip all pluses. "

Ran well for much of the way - a solid return from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Toviere hasn't run for a while because he's been waiting for better ground. His last run at Taunton in January was better than it reads, he just didn't get home over three miles and once he was beaten Leighton…

Nice each-way call from Charlie and he even gave you the winner as the danger. Original quote: "Prince Of Arran: Has got to carry top-weight in a hot handicap here, but he is the class horse in the field and has a fantastic draw (2). Mick's horse - Big Country - could be anything, but…

Well-backed and easy to see why. Nice winner for the Charlie! Original quote: "Endless Arces - Is a lovely late-maturing type who has done very well for his winter holiday. Step up in trip will suit and I'm looking forward to a big run."

Just held on to give Mick another winner on the day. Original quote: "Hakam - A good winner last time out at Chelmsford - seems to be going the right way and deserves to take his chance in this higher grade again. Bit to prove as down the field here in a similar race 2…

Looks a smart prospect for the Appleby team. Original quote: "Big Country - Only second career run for us, but was very impressive on debut when winning by 7 lengths at Wolverhampton. Upped in grade a fair bit here, but as a result gets in off a very light weight. Lightly-raced so there should be…

Landed the each-way money. Original quote: "Hannington - Won well here two starts back but failed to follow-up last time at Wolverhampton. Had to race a bit wide that last day so lost his chance really, plus the race may have come a bit too soon - just a week apart. Better drawn today in…

Another winner for the James Evans yard. Original quote: "Optimistic Bias - Two encouraging runs for us so far and with the help from the handicapper should be thereabouts today."

Top winner for the Tim Vaughan camp. Original quote: "Glimpse Of Gold - Pleasing run last time out when third of 12 at Doncaster. Only up 2lbs for that and in this easier race then hoping he's got every chance. Alan actually offsets the rise with his 3lb claim so if running to the same…

Looks a nice prospect for Gary. Original quote: "Hard to assess horses in bumpers because you don't know what you're taking on. A lovely horse though which shows ability at home but inexperience may beat him today - not without a chance."

Great run from Julia's horse - she told us after it will improve for the run too. Original quote: "Secret Strategy: Was bought from Godolphin last year - he has worked well, but whatever he does today he will improve on. He certainly is worth following when he is handicapped as there are one or…

Nice each-way call from Mick. Original quote: "Percys Princess: Just the one career win to her name from 35 starts so that tells it's own story. On a plus that victory did come here at Wolverhampton. Another of ours today that has slipped to a nice mark so could surprise. But no matter what happens…

Spot on from Mark - he even gave us the winner! Original quote: "Pour L'Amour: Been running well for us without winning - only 5th start for us, but down another pound in the ratings helps. Kirby rides for the first time too and the horses continue to go well. Look like we've got the…

Landed the each-way money - just ran into one! Original quote: "Home Again - 6f last time out was probably a bit too sharp so back up to 7f here today. Got the visor on today too to help sharpen him up. Each-way chance here today with Locommotion and Tigerfish the ones we've got to…

Another solid second from Henry's horse. Original quote: "After Hours: Tight little race. The big question over our horse is the trip as he's yet to race this far under rules, but being a winning piinter over 3m then we are hopeful on that score. We were delighted with his last run, when a close…

Ended a great day for jockey Jim Crowley! Nice call from Simon. Original quote: "Dutiful Son - Consistent handicapper who has run well on occasions this season without recapturing last year's form as yet. Return to 6f not certain to suit but arguably better here than elsewhere and certainly worth a try. No surprise to…
