Toughed it out from the front to land this nice pot for the Scu camp. Original quote: "Kingswell Theatre - Tough race but a fair pot so worth a crack. Not won since Dec 15 so a bit to prove of late, but has dropped to a nice mark as a result and now 2lbs…

The first two got away, but another solid each-way run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Toberdowney ran well in defeat at Ludlow on her most recent run, she could have done with a stronger gallop, it was a bit of a muddling pace but Leighton didn't want to make the running with her because she…

Well beaten by the winner, but a much-improved effort. Original quote: "The Omen: Returns from a 3 month break - had rather lost his way a bit over the last few season's so trying to freshen him up. As a result has dropped to a very decent mark (77) and having won off 92 then…

Solid run from Gay's horse! Original quote: "Vettori Rules - A nice prize up for grabs for this evening race so worth a crack. Tight little race and only second run for us after coming from Marco Botti's yard. 5th of 8, but only beaten 2 lengths, on debut for us, so we were pleased…

Solid each-way run from Mark's horse. Original quote: "Sunshineandbubbles was running on well at Southwell but unfortuantely there are no suitable race opportuntites for her back at that track, so we are returning to Lingfield where she is a course and distance winner. We have secured Miss S Brotherton to ride which is a positive,…

Eventually had too much class for this lot to win for the second time inside a week. Original quote: "William Money: Won very well last week at Newcastle - carries a 7lb penalty for that victory but still very well-handicapped on old form and seems to have come out of the race well. Takes on…

Nice each-way run from Julia's horse to dead-heat for third. Original quote: "Go On Gal - Has been so unlucky not to win a race before now - she tries hard but always seems to find one too good. The step up to 1m4f suited at the track last time and she has a 7lb…

Made it a TQ 1-2 in the race! Original quote: "Crosse Fire: Another tough race on a tough card today. Was slowly away two runs ago here so can ignore that effort and a lot better last time when breaking better - was 4th of 10 that day. Dropped a pound for that gives us…

The first of three winners on the day for Mick! Original quote: "Escalating - Not been out since November but been working well at home and looks on a good mark - Bit more needed in this higher grade, but ran well on the surface for the first time last time and Lewis' 5lb claim…

Another TQ View winner for us this week! Original quote: "Bounty Pursuit - Delighted with his recent win at Wolverhampton and although he's got a 6lb penalty here we are still hoping for a big run. First run in a race here at Southwell, but the surface should suit and still looks unexposed. Won't be…

Great to see Mick's old-timer back on the scoresheet! Original quote: "The Lock Master - Loves it here and despite his advancing years is still showing up well in his race and at home. Not won for over a year, but has dropped to a nice mark as a result - 9lbs lower than last…

Another good winner for the in-form Tim Vaughan yard. Original quote: "Bells Of Ailsworth: The Henderson horse - Towering - might be hard to topple, but we unseated too early last time to tell. Won well the time before at Taunton and on that running would have every chance. Had a few months off to…

Another solid effort from Gay's horse at the track and at TQ 1-2 in the race! Original quote: "Vroom - Won well here last time and loves the surface - more needed now up 4lbs but has come out of that race well and so the fact he's yet to finish out of the top…

Nice 20/1 winner for Mark and the team !! Original quote: "Among Angels - Been a bit inconsistent of late, but back in the right grade here and if running to the level that saw him finish a close second here three runs back would have a chance. Up to 7f here though so a…

Top call from Scott! Original quote: "Medici Moon: Only 5th career run - but a lot better last time when third of 10 here over this course and distance. Dropped a few pounds for that helps too and seems well after a 4 week break. Hoping for another step forward and looks a nice each-way…

Another top course win for this horse and on debut for the Gary Moore team - staying is his game! Original quote: "First run for the stable. Coolking shows willing and goes well at home. Appears to like the track (won here last time out) but the 9lb rise is not in his favour and…

Another impressive win for this improcing Oliver Sherwood mare. Original quote: " Hitherjaques was impressive at Wincanton last time out but the odds-on favourite was taken out on the day so I'm not sure what the form is worth, she couldn't have done it better though, jumping and traveling well throughout. She's improving with each run.…

A welcome return to form from Tim's horse to continue the yard's good form. Original quote: "Tara Mac - Tight race with Clonusker looking the one we've all got to beat. Not been firing of late, but as a result has slipped to a very handy-looking mark. Not been out since August though so might…

Another solid run from Tim's horse to finish second. Original quote: "Point of Principle - Surprised us a bit last time to win on debut at Warwick - wasn't totally unexpected as his a horse we like, but when it's hard to know much about the others in the race we were delighted with it.…

Loves the Ffos Las track and was good to see Jamie's horse get back to winning ways. Original quote: "Midnight Silver: Seems to enjoy Ffos Las - having won here twice. The drop in trip isn't ideal but we should get away with it on this ground. She'll appreciate going back over hurdles though after…
