Solid run from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Robero - Has won twice on the AW and ran ok here last time out over a mile - just got a bit tired in the closing stages so the drop back to 7f is a plus. We are also down 2lbs this time and Josie Gordon takes…

24th Oct 2018 2nd 3/1 – Sheldon Cooper – Mick Appleby Chelmsford
A fast-finishing second and looks one to follow from the Mick Appleby yard. Original quote: "Sheldon Cooper - First run for the yard after coming over from Ireland. Has been running in hurdles and flat races over there but we are starting him off on the AW. Hard to assess the Irish form but has…

24th Oct 2018 3rd 16/1 – Whenapoet – Mick Appleby Chelmsford
Got closer - as Mick said - but he still gave us the winner too! Original quote: "Whenapoet - We've 11 lengths to find with So Hi Storm, who beat us last time so it's not going to be easy. Step up to a mile will suit us though and we've a fair weight pull…

23rd Oct 2018 3rd 20/1 – Reveleon – Mick Appleby Yarmouth
A much better run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Reveleon - Hasn't built on his debut win for the yard -5 runs ago - and needs to bounce back from a very poor run last time. The better ground here will help and didn't seem to handle the Bath track that well last time. The…

23rd Oct 2018 2nd 11/2 – Outrage – Daniel Kubler Kempton Park
Another solid run from Daniel's horse. Original quote: "Outrage - Won nicely last time out at Newcastle and was beaten just a head the time before over course and distance. This is slightly tougher but should remain competitive."

23rd Oct 2018 2nd 16/1 – Boxatricks – Julia Feilden Kempton Park
Great call from Julia. Original quote: "Boxatricks - Put in a much-improved performance at Wolverhampton last time but threw the race away by hanging right - we hope by running here at Kempton, and going right handed, will suit him better. He has been working well at home and we hope he have an each-way…

23rd Oct 2018 2nd 16/1 – Take Em Out – Tim Vaughan Exeter
No chance with the easy winner but ran on well to suggest there's a race in him soon. Original quote: "Take Em Out - Tough ask to beat the hot favourite but a small chance of filling a place if the Pipe and O'Brien horses run below-par. Fast ground is fine for him and back…

22nd Oct 2018 1st 6/1 – Royal Hall – Gary Moore Plumpton
Stayed the new trip well and landed the three-timer in the process! Original quote: "Royal Hall - First time over the distance but we think he will stay which should give him a reasonable chance. Remains on the upgrade and has been running well on the flat recently too. Ground is suitable so each-way chance…

22nd Oct 2018 1st 33/1 – Zapper Cass – Mick Appleby Windsor
Big-priced winner for Mick. Original quote: "Zapper Cass: Into a claimer here - off top-weight though so we are helping on that front with Mark taking off 7lbs. Others are still rated higher than us though and we have to give them weight so looks to be a tall ask. Dire race though helps and…

21st Oct 2018 2nd 7/2 – Risk And Co – Jamie Snowden Sedgefield
Another good run from Jamie's horse. Original quote: "Risk And Co - Has the second best piece of form here and should certainly run his race again and won't be far away - but might be vulnerable to a decent newcomer."

21st Oct 2018 2nd 3/1 – Spectator – Tim Vaughan Sedgefield
Solid run from Tim's horse - one to look for next time. Original quote: "Spectator - Is in great order at home and well after a few months off. The horses continue to go well in general and looks on a fair mark. All the race conditions will be fine too so we feel we…

20th Oct 2018 3rd 28/1 – Len Brennan – Tim Vaughan Stratford upon Avon
Solid run and looks a horse to note. Original quote: "Len Brennan - First time over hurdles here today - lightly-raced so will be more to come and the longer trip will suit. Be delighted with a clear round and an improved run to give us something to work with but the Skelton horse might…

20th Oct 2018 2nd 5/1 – Thomas Macdonagh – Jamie Snowden Ffos Las
Looks a horse to follow from the Jamie Snowden camp. Original quote: "Thomas Macdonagh - Is a lovely type. He goes well and could well be decent. This looks a competitive race but he's likely over-priced and should out-run his odds."

20th Oct 2018 3rd 7/2 – Lord Murphy – Mark Loughnane Wolverhampton
Placed again for Mark's horse. Original quote: "Lord Murphy - Hard horse to win with (1 from 23) but often never far away in his races. Solid performer that ran well two days ago here to be third. Has come out of that race well - Same mark, trip and grade so no reason why…

20th Oct 2018 1st 10/3 – Jersey Bean – Oliver Sherwood Market Rasen
Another good winner this week for the in-form Oliver Sherwood camp. Original quote: "Jersey Bean - Bean hasn’t run since winning a novice hurdle over this trip at Fontwell in February, he unfortunately picked up an infection in his leg which took ages to clear up so we then turned him away for a good…

20th Oct 2018 3rd 16/1 – Storm Patrol – Suzy Smith Ffos Las
Solid run from Suzy's horse. Original quote: "Storm Patrol - Has plenty of ability - disappointing the last twice over hurdles. Possibly a non-stayer so dropping back in trip, despite pedigree suggesting otherwise. Hopeful of an improved showing and working well at home."

19th Oct 2018 1st 9/2 – Lincoln Park – Mick Appleby Haydock
Enjoyed the step up in trip - an improving sort. Original quote: "Lincoln Park - Showed a great attitude last time out when winning well at Pontefract. We are up 6lbs for that so more needed, but we feel the extra furlong will help bring out a bit more as saw out the 6f well…

19th Oct 2018 2nd 4/1 – Free Love – Mick Appleby Haydock
Solid run from Mick's horse. Original quote: "Free Love - The race looks to revolve around the Dalgleish runner - Epona. We head here with a fair chance though after running well to be a close fourth last time at Nottingham. Down a pound for that run too helps and also eased in grade. As…

19th Oct 2018 1st 4/1 – Thistle Do Nicely – Jamie Snowden Wincanton
Top call from Jamie - looks a nice prospect. Original quote: "Thistle Do Nicely - Won a bumper last Autumn on decent ground but got lost on a deep surface in a Listed contest last time. He jumps well and is working nicely - should have a very good chance."

18th Oct 2018 3rd 8/1 – Lord Murphy – Mark Loughnane Wolverhampton
Nice e/w call. Original quote: "Lord Murphy is a solid enough horse and always gives his running. He has a good draw, conditions suit here & Liam Jones knows him from riding him last time out, so if there is a good pace then we would hope he has a good e/w chance again tonight,…
