Gutsy win backed from 8/1 into 4/1 Original quote: "De Forgotten One - Ran well on his return run at Fontwell earlier this month (4th of 7) - that was also his chase debut. Jumped well on the whole but that experience has helped a lot. We feel the slightly longer trip here will help…

Nice run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Good Luck Charm - Has a bad draw today (14), which makes life hard. Won well earlier in the season and seems well at home - may have a place chance today if getting the luck in-running at a track he's won at before."

Cracking run from Henry's horse - should be a good season ahead. Original quote: "Kilfilum Cross - Did well last season for us - and ran a blinder to be second in the Kim Muir at the Festival. Still lightly-raced for his age (9 runs) so should be more to come and looking forward to…

Well supported all day - each-way money landed. Original quote: "Leskinfere - Top two in the betting set a fair standard but we are not without a chance. First run for us after coming from the Oliver Greenall yard. Has done well since joining us and being dropped into a Selling Hurdle here will make…

A bold show and e/w money landed. Original quote: "Telekinetic - Has been unlucky not to win already and went well over course and distance earlier in the year. She's never raced on this ground but her half-sister loved it and it that is the key to her she could run a big race -…

Finished well and another few strides would have probably won! Original quote: "Takeonefortheteam won well last time out - however, has gone up 5lb for that win, so is now running in a race two grades higher, so it will be more difficult for him today. Having said that, he seems to bring his best…

No chance with the easy winner - but still a fair effort. Original quote: "Paintball Wizard - A big backward horse, who has needed time to mature and this will be his third run to qualify for handicaps. He'll have a break after this and then be ready for the turf next season."

Another easy win for Gary's improving stayer. Original quote: "Goshen - Probably our best chance of the day. Heads here off the back of easy wins at Brighton and Sandown - won by 12 and 9 lengths. The last of those wins came of soft ground too so conditions are not a concern. Had a…

Only just failed to get up - looks a winner in the making. Original quote: "Junkanoo - Although it is only his third run in a slightly competitive race, he is going the right way and was an improved 4th last time out at Sandown. The step up in trip will suit too, so surely…

Nice effort from Scott's horse - looks sure to be winning soon. Original quote: "Alex Gracie - Could not have been happier with her debut run at Southwell when third (of 13) here. Same trip here and that run seems to have brought her on. Jonathan rides again here and is able to claim 7lbs…

Nice TQ View winner for Oliver Sherwood - looks an exciting prospect. Original quote: "Sevarano - He's a lovely big horse and last season's form has worked out very well. He just didn't strengthen up at all last season so I turned him away early as he is a big frame of a horse. I…

Decent e/w run from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Len Brennan - Returned at the start of the month after a break with a solid run at Southwell (2nd). That came over hurdles but gets in here over fences off the same mark. Had some good form over fences last season and despite yet to win…

Top shout from Tim. Original quote: "Evas Oskar - A horse we like a fair bit and is starting to fulfil that potential by winning his last two. Delighted with his win last time out on his return to the track too at Warwick - showed a lot of guts to get back up and…

Top call at 20/1 from Simon. Original quote: "Corazon Espinado - Encouraging return after a break and has good form round here over this trip. Reunited with his winning-most rider - Tom Marquand - and well-drawn (2). He should be thereabouts in a competitive race."

Solid run and e/w money landed. Original quote: "Killaro Boy - Veterans' Chase here today for Killaro Boy. Been in fine form in last runs back in May and June - 5lbs higher for his gallant effort in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter last time out. Freshened up with 3-4 months off and has strong…

Nice winner for Scu. Original quote: "Mystree - Nice race and a nice prize up for grabs here. Winner of the Eider at Newcastle in 2017 and a close second in the race last year too. Stays further than this 3m2f trip so we'll be hoping to make full use of that. Ground is fine…

Great call from Dave at 14/1. Original quote: "Teruntum Star - Has done well since coming to us - only had three runs for the yard and the last two have been a step in the right direction. Back in grade here and up to 6f (from 5f) is fine. Soft ground winner in the…

Top winner for Oliver. Original quote: "Whats Occurring - Gavin - as he's known at home - won a couple of early season novice hurdles last autumn on his favoured good ground. I thought he ran a blinder in the Gerry Fielden (a Listed hurdle) at Newbury when finishing fifth last season too. With hindsight…

Stayed on well to take third. Looks a horse to follow. Original quote: "Tractor Fred - Has shown a bit of form and stays very well. He jumps nicely and certainly has a future. Shouldn't be too far away here today. Each-way."

Easy winner for the in-form Jamie Snowden yard. Original quote: "Battleofthesomme - Hasn't shown much form on the track and makes his debut for us today. He's got a very low mark, which I'm sure he can be competitive off. Starting him off over fences at the minimum trip so we'll know where to go…
