No chance with the winner but a nice run - one to note. Original quote: "Winning pointer and showed a fair level of form on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter when with Claire Dyson. First run for us and only third career outing so will have more to come. Been doing well at home but we'll…

Solid run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Looks like he will have to try handicapping if he can't land this. Arguably unlucky on penultimate start which was here and not suited by how the race worked out last time. Seems in good shape and no surprise if he gets back on track here."

Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Only average form to day, but first run over hurdles today in a handicap and that will help. Conditions are fine and is well after a few months out. Better expected today - each-way chance."

Ran on well to make it a TQ 1-2 in the race. Original quote: "Just the one win under rules and that came over fences. Had first run back from a wind op last time at Newcastle and has come on for that outing. Bit more needed upped in grade here but feel he should…

Top winner for Jamie.   Original quote: "Exod'ela has been placed in two bumpers and two novice hurdles this season and arrives here on handicap debut off a mark of 119, which isn't a "gimme". However, we've not quite found the key to him yet, but might find handicaps the way forward now. The application…

Lovely introduction. Original quote: "Big long striding horse. Has been working nicely at home. Hard to tell just how good the others are or might be with no form to go on, but some strong pedigrees. So just hopeful of a nice intro today and fingers crossed he can reach the frame - he shouldn't…

Solid run from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Nice horse on his day - had his issues in recent seasons but returned from his latest break with an encouraging effort at Warwick (4th of 13). Same mark here but we've a 5lb claimer on this time in Charlie Price to help with his 12-0 burden. Trip…

Well-judged rided to win with a bit to spare. Original quote: "Ran better than we expected last time off a break when third at Chelmsford a few weeks ago. Has come out of that race well so off the same mark and with George riding (claims 7lbs) again then should not be far away. First…

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Ask Paddy, who has won it's last three will be an obvious danger, but hopefully with that horse going up another 8lbs it's winning run might come to an end! We come here with a chance though after winning two runs back at Sedgefield and then not…

Nice winner for Henry Original quote: "Never went a yard the last day at Uttoxeter - ran flat, which was frustrating as he ran really well the time before (2nd). Nothing came to light so if that effort can be forgiven then an each-way chance in what doesn't look the best of races. Handles the…

No chance with the easy winner, but a nice e/w run. Original quote: "Buy Me Back is having her first run for our yard today and is working well enough at home, although we have only had her for a couple of weeks. She was ran out of it in the last few yards over…

Ran on well to take third at 14/1 Original quote: "Needs a small field and a high draw - unfortunately did not get that on his last run so can be forgiven for that effort. He is racing here off a featherweight but needs things to go right for him and if they do, he…

No chance with the easy winner - but a nice e/w effort. Original quote: "First run for the yard - came from the Jo Hughes yard. Has won twice from 14 starts so does know how to get his head in front, but is returning from 4 months off. Sporting the eyeshields today to help…

Solid effort from Gay's horse. Original quote: "Should have a decent chance if reproducing his close second here earlier this month. Only a pound higher here and that was only his fourth career run so will have more to offer. Step up to 6f should be fine and with that last run coming off a…

Easy win for Charlie's improver. Original quote: "Has won his last two over course and distance but today he takes on two other horses chasing three-timers. He comes out well at the weights with Battle Of Marathon - having already beaten him his year - so based on that must have a good chance."

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Stepped up in trip today which will be interesting (1m2f, from 1m), so we'll see how she gets on over it. Unfortunately, AGENT OF FORTUNE had to miss an earlier engagement this week due to a power cut at the races. She came out of her race…

Soild run - 12/1 into 9/2 - went down at short-head and a nose. Original quote: "Is a horse we have always liked - he has loads of ability but has yet to show it. He has plenty in his favour also here today being upped in trip. Cheekpieces and a good draw (2), plus…

Top winner for Scu. Original quote: "Winning Pointer that is having rules debut here today. Fit and well, plus won't mind the ground so looking forward to a solid introduction and hopeful she won't be far away."

Made the hot favourite pull out the stops. Original quote: "Dream Magic has been largely consistent over the winter but is back in handicap company today, which he tends to find a bit more challenging. Although he is back in a 0-65 today, he has a lot of weight to carry (so Kevin's 5lb claim…

Much better run from Charlie's horse. Original quote: "Has been incredibly tough to train at home and we are still working him out at the races. Drop to 6f will certainly help as he has tons of natural speed and we might make a bit more use of that here today. Learning curve still, but…
