Another decent placed effort. Original quote: "Twasn't The Plan - Another of ours running today that deserves to get his head in front - has been placed in the top four in all his last 8 races, but is yet to win. Went down a short-head last time at Warwick too on his chase debut…

Nice run from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Rosie And Millie - Showed up well in a few NH flat races last season but was pulled up on her hurdles debut at Doncaster. That came in a hot race though and she's since had her wind operated on. Trip and ground are fine, but first run…

Only just failed to get up - solid run still and one to note. Original quote: "Timcoda - Was a good second on racecourse debut in a bumper at Worcester last autumn to the winner of the Persian War, so solid form. He struggled thereafter though last season, but he's on an attractive mark now…

Superb run from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Thor De Cerisy - Did well for us in NH Flat races last season, winning once and then running well in the Cheltenham Festival bumper (11th) Has done well over the summer and schooled well for this first run over hurdles. Won't mind the soft ground and gone…

Top winner for Charlie and the team. Original quote: "Onassis - Has improved with every single run this year - including in a very hot Class 2 handicap last time out. This drop in grade shoud help and the stiff 7f will work nicely too. Hayley rides."

No chance with the winner, but still a fair run from Oliver's 6 year-old. Original quote: "Jersey Bean has been a very consistent staying hurdler so far and finished a well beaten runner-up of 3 runners on his chase debut at Perth, which was a fair effort. He jumped well that day but we think…

No chance with the smart-looking winner, but still a nice effort at 25/1. Original quote: "Que Quieres - Not shown much yet on the track though he goes quite nicely at home for a late developer. Small field and an extreme distance might tell us more."

Nice run back - one to note next time. Original quote: "Corazon Espinado - Had a break since an unusual below par performance mid Summer and returns here well drawn. Track should suit and no surprise if he bounces back though sure to come on for this."

Another decent effort from Harry's horse. Original quote: "Aquascape - Did really well on debut, when fourth at Lingfield - was only beaten just under 3 lengths that day. Might want a bit further in time, but this 1m trip is fine at this stage - so with the expected improvement and that experience under…

Powered clear and looks a nice prospect for the Jamie Snowden yard. Original quote: "Legends Ryde - Showed some very promising bumper form last season. She's strengthened over the summer and is a big, strong, staying type of mare for the future. She's done plenty of work and can go close today. Obviously we don't…

Great run at 12/1 from Scott's horse. Original quote: "Samovar - Bounced back to winning form here last week - beating Mininggold by a neck. We are up 5lbs for that and in a higher grade here so probably needs another step forward in what looks a very open race. On a plus, the horse…

Decent e/w effort from Scu's horse. Original quote: "Lawmaking - Consistent sort on the AW and loves the track here at Kempton - past CD winner. 5th of 8 here last time out in a similar race so off the same mark does have a bit to prove.  Slight worry that there might not be…

Nice run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Good draw here today in 2, which hopefully will give AIGUILLETTE every chance after running a fine second over this trip at Chelmsford last time. Actually a pound lower for that too so a repeat should see him go well."

Ran well to take third. Original quote: "Ebitba - We were lucky enough to win this race in 2016 so hopefully it will be kind to us again this year. Ebitda has't run that well the last twice, but the last of those came on the AW and he's better on the turf - all…

Showed a great turn of foot to take this. Original quote: "Takeonefortheteam's sole win came at Kempton and he is running off 1lb lower today. He has been knocking on the door most of the year but just needs a bit of luck in-running with his run style. If he gets this from draw 8…

Nice run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Pontresina has had a year off after picking up a minor tendon injury on his last outing at Wincanton when finishing second. Pontresina is a consistent horse, a very good jumper and as honest as the day is long. He’s as fit as I can get him but…

Got the hang of things late - as Gary said, a horse they like and certainly one to watch. Original quote: "Back on the track after a long break. Can see him becoming a nice horse but probably best watched today."

Place money landed for Charlie and the team. Original quote: "Circle Of Stars- - Ran well over course and distance a few weeks ago and this race looks weaker. We have to turn the form around with the second that day - Forbidden Dance - but we have a better draw (5) and based on…

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Miss Gargar - Been running well at the course and won here over 6f back in Aug - back down to 5f here should be fine as shows plenty of pace, but just feel the wide draw (9) today makes life harder. 1 1/2  stars."

Solid run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Ragstone Cowboy - Didn't seem happy on the AWT last time. Hopefully he will be more at home back on the grass and if he copes with the heavy ground, should see him back to running a good race again. Looks a nice each-way price. "
