Some nice prize money landed here for Simon! Original quote: "Forceful Appeal - Useful older horse who has been better than ever this winter and loves it here. Ran well in this last year when getting too far back and no surprise to see him running on strongly if the race works out for him."

Plugged on well to take third for Mark! Original quote: "Big Amigo has been running well this winter but both his wins have come at Southwell over further. He has won at Wolverhampton before but our biggest concern today is the drop back to 5f. He is also wrong at the weights with some of…

Nice shout from Oliver! Original quote: "Morning Reggie has been a frustrating horse, he has a huge amount of ability, works and schools well and it all seems to be what sort of mood he is in. He's wearing blinkers and I'm hopeful of a good run."

Easy 27 length winner for Gary! Original quote: "CASSE TETE ran an improved race last time out and I hope he can show further improvement today. Small field but a competitive race and I think the stiffer track could suit."

Great run from Gary's horse at 25/1! Original quote: "Darebin can be quirky but he is quite talented and I would like to see him put a couple of poor hurdle efforts behind him. Been running well on the all weather so he is certainly fit. Change of headgear may help - e/w squeak."

Top shout from Gary to land the each-way money at 25/1!! Original quote: "Crystal Lad ran a much improved race recently when winning at Fontwell. Ground conditions and the trip should suit and I hope to see Crystal Lad run well - looks a nice each-way price."

Nice 10/1 winner for Henry Oliver! Original quote: "Major Hinderance - The Mulholland horse is the one we've all got to beat, but we've got a chance. Yet to win, but only had 5 races so there will be more to come. Soft ground, trip and track will all be fine, plus we are down…

Henry was right - beaten just a short head! Original quote: "After Hours - Wasn't disgraced last time when second to an improving sort at Lingfield. Same mark here, but the step up to 2m4f is a plus and will be fine in the ground. Competitive race, but the horse is well and should not…

A much better run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Financial Climate - He burst a blood vessel last time at Wincanton, he got jumped into at the second fence and that completely took him out of his rhythm. We've put Harry on who claims a valuable 10lbs and we are hopeful of a more positive…

Nice winner for the in-form Mick Appleby team. Original quote: "Hannington - Been given a chance by the handicapper - dropped 3lbs for his last run. Only beaten 3 lengths that day so her finishing position of 6th was better than it looks. Well handicapped on old form too so hopefully should be popping up…

A step in the right direction from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Le Drapeau ran ok first time out at Exeter, it's difficult to work out bumper form at times. I think he is better than he showed that day but I'm not certain he will handle the ground today. He's not a big weak horse…

Top stuff from the Griffiths camp. Original quote: "Storm King has been running well without getting his head in front. Ran a cracker over CD three runs back and seems in really good order. Competitive little race, but hopeful of building on his course form and we help by taking a further 7lbs off his…

Kept on well in the final furlong to take second. Original quote: "Spowarticus - Another of ours that is making a quick return to the track after only running here on Tuesday. Not won for a while so starting to become a bit expensive to follow - however, as a result is starting to look…

A TQ 1-2 in the race ! Original quote: "Av A Word: Disappointed last time - so we revert back to cheekpieces. Drop back to a mile probably not ideal but hoping slower surface negates that effect. Not a straightforward character but shows enough ability to suggest winning a bad race is a possible."

Ran on strongly to lead in the last 100 yards. Original quote: "Padleyourowncanoe is returning from a six month break so although we think he is fit enough to do himself justice, he will also come on from the run today. His 2 year old form was a bit mixed but he showed a bit…

Nice call from Mick. Original quote: "Secret Lightning - Just the one runner for us today. Got caught up in a pile-up at Wolverhampton last time and unseated the jockey, but seems none-the-worse for that and so back on the track just 3 weeks later. Same mark here, but stepped up to a mile today,…

Just the one runner for us today. Got caught up in a pile-up at Wolverhampton last time and unseated the jockey, but seems none-the-worse for that and so back on the track just 3 weeks later. Same mark here, but stepped up to a mile today, which is no issue. Silvestre takes over in the…

Only beaten two short heads! A much better run from Lee's horse. Original quote: "Spiritual Star: Certainly has the ability to take this - past CD winner and looking very well-handicapped. However, a bit word of caution as it's nothing new to tell you the horse can be a bleeder and so a risky option.…

Overcame the bad draw to win well again for Simon Dow. Original quote: "Roundabout Magic - Speedy colt that won here last time out. Up 4lbs for that win so more needed and looks tough enough from a wide draw in 8. But remains in great order and can't be easily discounted."
