Nice effort from Julia's horse - gives them a few options now! Original quote: "Go On Gal - Is running in this grade, trip and track for the first time so we are a bit in the dark. She is probably better suited on turf and a place is all we can hope for unless…

Ran a cracker and only went down in a three-way photo - still each-way money landed! Original quote: "Champagne Chaser - Amateur riders' race so these can sometimes be tricky to call. The horses continue to go well though and Champagne Chaser has dropped to a more reasonable-looking mark - with the jockey's 7lbs claim…

Ran on really well to land the ewach-way money - still looks like there is more to come from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Future Gilded - Won nicely the last day at Catterick - up 8lbs for that in what looks a better race, but he's an improving horse who should go well again here…

Powered clear to grab a well-deserved win. Original quote: "Poyle Vinnie - Tough race, but we head here with a fair chance. Has been running well of late - hitting the crossbar without winning. Up in grade here and up 3lbs but we offset that with Ali's claim. Has a decent record at the track,…

Another solid run from this horse - and a 2-3 for the Dixon team in the race. Original quote: "Wimboldsley - This is a tougher race than when he won last week and he carries a penalty. It also comes a bit quick but has been well at home since that victory and deserves respect…

Nice call from Scott and a 2-3 in the race for them! Original quote: "Cadeaux Pearl - Jumped out well enough last week from a low draw, but was then slowly into stride. Jockey did well to get him out of trouble and he finished the race well. Blinkers back on in the hope he…

Nice e/w call from Scott - looks a horse to follow. Original quote: "Medici Moon - Worked very well here last week and looks on a fair mark. Big each-way chance."

Not much chance with the winner, but top e/w call at 10/1 still from Mark! Original quote: "Roman De Brut has been very consistent over the winter - however, he is stepping up in grade today to a 0-75, which means he is running off bottom weight and also has Charlie Bennetts 5lb claim to help. Gossiping…

Well back, but still ran a solid race and landed the e/w money. Original quote: "Dinsdale: Has improved with every run - this is only his fifth run both on the flat and jumps - still open to lots of improvement, which should see him go close today."

Made a mess of the last, to let the winner back in - but still landed the e/w money at 11/2! Original quote: "Fayette County - Had a few months off after a great race at Cheltenham at their November meeting. Seems better for the break and returns on the same mark and in the…

Another winner for the in-form Tim Vaughan team - looks an exciting prospect. Original quote: "Dadsintrouble - A nice horse and one we like a lot. Ran a decent third to an improving horse last May at Newton Abbot and was going well when coming to grief at Cheltenham last time out. That was back…

Spot-on from Gary - a top 14/1 winner for the yard! Original quote: "Etaad - Seven Clans is the one to beat, but we think we head here with a fair e/w chance. Poor last time, but better draw and step up in trip are pluses. We'll ride the horse a bit different today to…

Top call and top ride from Richard Johnson - a double on the day for the yard. Original quote: "Fields Of Glory - Might have liked a bit more cut, but will be fine. Still a bit to learn over fences as this is only his 4th career outing over the bigger obstacles, but a…

Another solid run from Tim's old-timer. Original quote: "Hidden Identity - A useful mare in her day and was actually 4th in the Mares race at the Cheltenham Festival in 2014 - just 4 1/2 lengths behind Quevega. Rather lost her way since and had a few issues, but returned wth a decent third at…

Great call from Tim at 16/1! Original quote: "Tanit River - Decent little race and we've got a fair chance too. We probably ran him a bit too soon last time when below-par at Ffos Las. Won very well the time before and back over fences here at a course he's won at helps. Had…

Ran on well to land the e/w money for Scott. Original quote: "Socialites Red: Down to a handy mark - drawn fine too and has come on well for that last run. Each-way shout."

Not much chance with the easy winner - but, as Mick said, a much improved run. Original quote: "Ramblow - The Ralph Beckett-trained Warm Words looks the call here. Our runner is only having her second run for us (former William Haggas horse), and needs to improve on her last run when well down the…

Nice e/w call from Scott. Original quote: "Crosse Fire - 5f is his optimum trip here and he hasn't had the best season so far. Getting progressively better jumping out of the stalls and not without an e/w chance."

Another top win from Michael's improving chaser. Original quote: "Twenty Eight Guns: A good winner last time out at Bangor - her best yet - and after a month off has come out of that race well. She loves soft ground and jumps and stays well. Has gone up a big-looking 11lbs for that recent…
