A horse for the Moore team that is heading in the right direction. Original quote: "Justification - Lightly-raced over the sticks, but had a fair amount of flat runs when with Aidan O'Brien. Has form on soft ground on the flat, but still unsure about the ground - a bit of a fact-finding mission on…

Ran a cracker to be second for the Moore team in this hot race. Original quote: "Baron Alco - Cracking race and will probably need to improve a fiar bit to take this. On a plus. the horse won well at Plumpton last time and ran Whisper close the time before at Cheltenham so won't…

Great call from Henry! Original quote: "Dresden - Last run can be discarded as he made a mistake quite early on. His ascot run before that has seen plenty of winners come out of the race since so that gives us hope too. Trip, ground and track all pluses and if staying 2m4f has to…

Anotehr solid each-way run from Harry's horse. Original quote: "Miss Tiger Lily - Consistent sort that rarely runs a bad race. Taking her racing well and likely to be thereabouts again today but only 7 runners now so not the best e/w betting race with Byron Flyer looking likely to fill one of the first…

Nice call from Gary - an easy 2 1/2 length win! Original quote: "Good draw (4) and DUTCH GOLDEN AGE is back at the track where he has shown his best form. I expect to see a decent run from him today"

Solid e/w run from Mark's horse. Original quote: "Dream Magic ran a great race to finish 3rd last time out & seems to be improving with his racing. Luke Morris takes the ride again today & this looks a weaker race than he contested last time looking like we have the favourite to beat. Unfortunately…

A nice horse for Julia and the team - one to look for next time based on this run ! Original quote: "Spirit of Sarwan: Is a horse we like - he has done well for his break and has been working well at home. Race has cut up with just 3 runners now so…

Plugged on well to get third for the Appleby team. Original quote: "Call Out Loud - Good winner two runs ago here over 6f. Failed to follow-up off a higher mark last time, but dropped 3lbs for that gives us hope again (now only 1 pound higher than recent win). Step up to 7f is…

Not much chance with the winner - but did well to take third. Original quote: "Mckenzies Friend - He was due to run at the abandoned Huntingdon last Friday and also at the abandoned Hereford, both of those were over 3m. This trip and track wouldn't suit him quite as well as they would have…

An easy win for Oliver's improving mare. Original quote: "Hitherjaques Lady has run well in her two starts over hurdles, improving each time. She won a bumper at Cheltenham in her first race and then looked very green back there at the beginning of this season. She is learning all the time and gaining in…

Nice call from Mick - he told us it was his best chance on the day. Original quote: "Faithful Creek - Been knocking on the door of late so every chance again over this trip. Only beaten 1 1/2 lengths last time despite coming 5th, but a pound lower here and no reason why he…

Scott's horse plugged on well to take third. Original quote: "Pearl Noir - Seems to be slowly coming to the boil again and ran a much better race here last time over 6f (4th of 11). Down 2lbs for that and we take off another 7lbs with the jockey's claim. Step up in trip is…

Only just failed (1/2 length) - but still a nice shout at 6/1 from Tim! Original quote: "Lake Chapala - Since running out three runs back has been in top form - winning two of his three over fences. Back over hurdles here today as despite winning well over them recently seems to enjoy the…

Made most of the running to land this for the in-form Charlie Fellowes camp. Original quote: "Twin Point - Had had a little break and is fresh and well. He is very consistent and will, once again, be thereabouts."

Nice call from Harry! Original quote: "Flight Of Fantasy - Very pleasing debut second last time out here. We've given her plenty of time to get over that and hoping to go well again. Looks between us and two others - the Gosden and Fanshawe runners - but expecting to be thereabouts with the necessary…

No chance with the first two, but plugged on well to take third at 16/1! Original quote: "Streets Of Promise - Nice race with some familiar faces in the line-up. First run back since April, but has been doing well over the summer and she seems a stronger horse with another summer on her back.…

With a better draw might have got closer - but still a solid effort from Charlie's horse. Original quote: "Beauchamp Opal: Ran really well last time out and should improve mentally for that run. The draw (14) has not been kind to us though so might be tricky from there - with the Neil Mulholland…

No chance with the winner - but was the only other to finish so picked up the each-way money. Original quote: "Weststreet - He ran well enough at Newbury on his first run over fences, he jumped well and after looking as if he was going to be well beaten he did knuckle down and…

Loved the ground in the end and a top winner for Henry and the team. Original quote: "Yorgonnahearmeroar: Very nice horse - might have a bit to prove off this sort of mark though (first time in a handicap), but on a plus ground and track are ideal so would not be shocked to see…
