NOTE BLEU ran an absolute blinder last week at Kempton. This race was only pulled together on Saturday, so fair enough this race was not on the planning sheet - however, looks to be an opportunity for NOTE BLEU to get off the mark today unless something in this race is going to be useful…

Easy peasy for Gary's horse. Original quote: "ICONIC MUDDLE should be the one to beat today. Solid performer and unlucky to bump into a particularly well handicapped horse last time out at Newbury. If in the same frame of mind he should take this and his home work suggests all good."

Top winner for the Henry Oliver yard. Original quote: "Been running well of late - four top-three finishes in recent runs. Stays well so hopeful this step up to 3m5 will suit. Also acts well in the ground. Very open race with many chances but the horse is well so we head here hopeful of…

Top winner for Charlie. Original quote: "Made a nice debut for my yard at Lingfield and I feel like we learnt a lot about her. Hopefully we can put that experience to good use this evening on a track that should suit her better. Each-way"

Another nice TQ View winner this month. Original quote: "Rock Boy Grey went very close at Lingfield last time out & is in good form at home. Kevin's 5lb claim puts him well in at the weights but he has never tried the surface at Chelmsford before - but if he handles it then he…

No chance with the winner but a nice return run. Original quote: "Well drawn in 1 as likes to get on with things - track is fine and on a fair mark with Jon's 5lbs claim too. Is returning from almost a year off though so might just need this to blow away the cobwebs."

Had an off day last time - didn't jump well and then also got hampered before being pulled-up. That came over 3m but we feel the drop back in trip (2m3f) will be fine in this ground - does stay a bit further. Still lightly-raced so will have more to come and been freshened-up with…

Great run from Henry's horse. Original quote: "Good horse back in the day in Ireland when with Mullins and Elliott at various stages. A horse that's had his issues since though - just four runs since April 18. Returned at the end of January at Chepstow but way down the field that day. 4lbs lower…

Nice draw in 4  and back down to last winning mark - we've also got Toby on to claim 5lbs today. Needs to bounce back from two poor recent runs though and also first run at the track - so a bit to prove. We think the track will suit though, but overall the horse…

Stayed on really well. Original quote: "Is a lovely mare. She showed some excellent bumper form - including winning and then being placed in a Listed contest at Cheltenham. She disappointed on hurdling debut but after a subsequent wind op she ran well to be secon two weeks ago. With her confidence restored she should…

Solid e/w run. Original quote: "Very consistent sort at this level - 8 races without a win, but been placed many times in those and now only 2lbs higher than last win. Loves the track and been taking his racing well this winter. Luke Morris, who rode last time, remains in the saddle, while this…

Easy winner for Gay. Original quote: "Came with a well-times late run to get the better of a hot favourite last time here. Up 5lbs and George can only claim 5lbs here (7lbs last time) so more needed. However, in great form and over this 1m4f trip again we expect another big run and we'd…

Solid e/w run from Dave's horse. Original quote: "Nice winner here two runs back - failed to follow-up next time off a 5lb higher mark but wasn't beaten too far considering he didn't get away that well - dwelt from the gates. Need a better break to get involved but in this slightly better race…

Well clear of the third. Original quote: "Ran with promise last time, when fourth here on only his third career run so should have more to come. Might be a couple too strong for him today, but seems to be going the right way and may run into a place with Ryan an obvious plus…

Nice prospect for the Jamie Snowden yard. Original quote: "Won well on her racecourse debut at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve. She is a well-bred filly and looks to have a bright future. It's never easy carrying a penalty in bumpers but she receives a sex allowance which negates her penalty here. So, it looks…

Nice winner for the Lee Carter yard. Original quote: "Gutsy winner at Lingfield last time out over this trip. Only 2lbs higher and still well-treated. Can, however, be a bit of a quirky sort so not certain to replicate that run - despite being more than capable of doing so. Seems well at home though…

Nice call from Gay. Original quote: "Ran a blinder here last week (2nd) - ran better than we thought as that came off a break too. Same mark and we've another claiming jockey in the plate - Toby Eley rides this time and takes off 5lbs. Dropping back to 7f here is no issue either…

Loved the extra yardage - this will open a lot more doors. Original quote: "Another that's come from the Claire Dyson yard and is having it's first run for us. Point winner but is yet to win under rules (14 runs). Had been rated a lot higher in the past and this doesn't look a…

Just got nabbed on the line. Original quote: "Big Lachie didn't fire at all last time out, which is very unlike him, but nothing has come to light at home and he is working well since - seems good in himself since that disappointing run. Hollie Doyle rode him to finish 2nd over course and…

Top run and only just failed to get the job done! Original quote: "Came out of his last race well and hopeful of another good performance with this drop in grade. Can't have the ground soft enough and stays strongly. Big field but he should be thereabouts at the finish."
