Arrrrrrgggh - went down just a head, but e/w money still landed at 9/1. Original quote: "Prisom - Tried over a mile last time but didn't really enjoy that. The return to 7f is, therefore, a big plus as is the return to Southwell. Looks a race with several (including us) with similar-looking chances, but…

A TQ 1-3 in the race for us and a ncie run from Dave's horse - one to watch. Original quote: "Tavener - Been running well on the whole in recent months. The track is an unknown as it's his first run here, but he's fit and well at home so if he takes to…

A nice price in the end for Mark's horse. Original quote: "Big Amigo has been a little disappointing but didn't get much luck in-running last time out. He is stepping up to 6f today & we are hopeful he can get involved although there are a couple of course/distance specialists that have to be respected."

A return to form at 18/1 and a nice e/w call from Dave. Original quote: "Pancake Day - A little disappointing last time, but seems fine and well after that run. Loves the track here so the return to Southwell a plus and being dropped another few pounds helps. Another tough race, but hoping for…

Spot on from Mick. Original quote: "House Of Commons - Hoping for a big run here after a good third last time out at Wolverhampton on his first run for the yard. Trying the fibresand for the first time so bit of a fact-finding mission but if he takes to it then everything in place…

No chance with the winner but a welcome return to form for Scott's horse. Original quote: "Boots and Spurs - 6f was too sharp for him at Southwell two runs ago. Not at his best over 7f next time and the race came too soon. Back to himself at home but has a terrible draw…

Did well to land the each-way money. Original quote: "Brigadoon - A bit to find with Tatting, who beat us 1 1/4 lengths last time - also looks a slightly harder race with 2-3 others rated higher than us. Loves the surface though so he should run his race, but only 7 runners not ideal…

Nice winner for Jamie. Original quote: "Future Gilded - Is a lovely horse who has been plagued by injury. We thought he'd go close the last day (first run for 615 days) but he came down at the first fence! He jumps well so barring a mishap I'd hope he's got every chance here."

Great, gutsy win from Tim's improving grey! Original quote: "Theligny - Nice race and we head here with a fair e/w chance. Our best chance on the day. Ran a cracker last time at Newbury in a similar contest over shorter. The step up in trip is a plus and will be fine on the…

Top winner for Oliver and the team. Original quote: "Amberjam - He's a lovely big horse who is very much a chaser. He has been schooling well over fences but I just wanted to give him a run over hurdles to blow away the cob-webs after such a long time off the track. He's in…

Great winner for Henry! Original quote: "Sparkling River - The step up in trip should suit and first run in handicap company here helps. Looks a good race to start off in this grade and the soft ground a big plus too. Richard Johnson booked to ride so everything in place for a big run."

Nice call from Mick - only went down a neck at 11/1, but e/w money still landed. Original quote: "Poyle Vinnie: Been knocking on the door of late - only beaten 1 1/4 lengths last time here over 5f. This step up in trip is fine and we get in here off the same mark.…

Another top run from Daniel's improving sprinter. Original quote: "This is a tougher race and Outrage will have to prove as effective over 6f as he has been over 5f - all five of his career wins have been at that distance. The trip ought not be a problem and it is probably a matter…

A much better run from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Crosse Fire - Has started very slowly the last two runs and that is obvioulsy concerning. We are trying him in a blind and a stalls rug this time to see if that helps. If he jumps on terms he has a chance but it remains…
