Looks a nice recruit for the Appleby yard. Original quote: "Reveleon - Silvestre an obvious plus in the saddle. First run for us after coming from the Stoute yard and despite not winning (6 races) had run some creditable races. Not had the horse long so we'll find out a bit here but has settled…

Nice double on the day for Charlie and the team. Original quote: "Jeremiah - Is a horse I rate very highly but he came back from Ascot sick. If he is back to his best then he could take some beating as the track and ground are ideal. He has certainly for the speed to…

Top shout from Charlie. Original quote: "Crimson Rosette - Has done nothing wrong so far this year and brings the best form into the race. If she produces her last two runs she will go close. We are leaving the hood off here as I would like to sharpen her up a bit - but…

Solid second from Mark's horse. Original quote: "Lord Murphy ran very well on turf last time out and handled the fast ground, so conditions should be ok for him and if he can reproduce that run then he should be able to get involved again today. The favourite won very easily last time out, so…

Unlucky not to get closer after getting hampered but still a horse to note for next time. Original quote: "Purple Rock - Only second career run so we are still learning about the horse. Shown enough to think he will win races like this but just feel trip might be a tad on the sharp…

Great call from Gary. Original quote: "Spring Praise - First start for me and I hope he can build on his recent third place after wind surgery whilst at his previous stable. Seems straightforward enough at home so lets hope he puts in a big effort today."

Top run from Dave's old boy!! Original quote: "Take Cover - Has won this race a few times in the past - still going strong at 11 and in really good order at home. Working well and as we know loves the track. Andrea Atzeni rides so a top jockey booked as we all know…

The break clearly worked for Oliver's horse. Original quote: "After a decent career on the flat Captain Peacock joined us last autumn from the William Knight yard and we thought he’d make up into a smart novice hurdler, he was very disappointing and almost seemed tripless - he's now run three times for us from…

Spot on from Tim. Original quote: "Boethius - Second runner in the race for us and probably our better chance. Won well last time at Worcester and a 5lb rise for that looks fair. Similar conditions to last time (grade, trip and ground) and we've given the horse a month to get over that last…

Another great win for Mick's horse. Original quote: "Classic Pursuit - Another of our top four winners on Sunday returns quickly here. Up 6lbs for that success but Theo's 7lb claim offsets that. Same grade but might be a slightly better race here but we are a proven course and distance winner so that helps.…

No chance with the winner but still a solid run from Gary's horse at 28/1. Original quote: "ALTAAYIL has been absent from the track for some time but has been working well at home. Possible that he will need this outing today before he will be seen at his best but I still hope puts…

Solid run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Queens Royale - Might be tough for us all to beat Curious Fox here. Our runner has certainly come on for it's last run though as that recent 5th came off a 145 day break. Is also 2lbs lower here and the drop back to 6f will suit…

No chance with the winner but a much-improved run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Ravens Raft - More required but last run came off a 6 month break so that has blown away some of the cobwebs. Quicker ground here will also help as found things a bit too soft last time too. Bits of…

An easy win for Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Carntop - Was a decent horse on the flat and race well to be second after a wind op last time out. This looks an easier race on paper and he should have every chance."

Solid run in second for Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Between The Waters - Is a consistent type but it didn't work dropping him back to 2m last time out. Back up in trip here and with Page taking off 5lbs he'd have another each-way chance but would certainly need everything to fall right to win."
