Another nice TQ View winner this month. Original quote: "Top win on chase debut last time out. Hopefully he can follow up his recent win at Lingfield. He should enjoy the ground and stay the distance, plus has had 2 1/2 weeks to get over that last run. Another tight little race, but looks one…

Looks a nice sort for the Sherwood camp. Original quote: "All the horses in this race cost less than 30k, Little Awkward won his bumper nicely at Fontwell and then finished fourth under a penalty at Exeter. The form of the Exeter race has worked out well. We sent Little Awkward to Laura Collett to…

Top winner for Gary. Original quote: "Trappy little contest where Acey Milan could be tough to beat. Any chinks in his armour should give Full Back a chance though as well at home."

Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Tough race - Annual Invictus looks a good thing in the race so really Ballydoyle e/w claims at best."

Nice call from Charlie at 50/1. Original quote: "Desert Marathon behaved appallingly at Kempton and blew all chance of running a decent race as a result. Her behaviour was a bit of a surprise to us but we have taken measures to keep her calm before the race and I am hoping we see a…

Great TQ View winner and looks another nice type for the Oliver Sherwood yard. Original quote: "Ocean Drifter managed to ground out a win last time out at Fontwell after a very promising debut over hurdles at Uttoxeter when finishing second. He wasn’t hugely impressive but the trip was on the short side for him…

Top run and only just failed, but e/w money landed. Original quote: "Probably not his ideal track here but looks a winnable race and Hollie got a good tune out of him a couple of starts back."

Fair run from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Jersey Bean is having a cracking season, he’s won his last two races and his confidence is sky high. He didn’t look convincing as a chaser before the application of blinkers, which were a recommendation of Henrietta Knight after she had him for two weeks of intensive schooling,…

Top run back from Gary's horse - one to note. Original quote: "Benatar has been off the track a long time so I would say best watched today. Grade 2 winner at Ascot a couple of years ago and Benatar performed well here at the Festival in in what used to be the JLT but…

Ran on well to take third. Original quote: "Third runner in the race for us. Down the field last time at Lingfield but the return to Southwell will help and is also dropped a few pounds too. Tough sprinter that's been around the block and ran well to be 3rd in a similar race here…

Just failed by a neck but a much better run and one to note next time.  Original quote: "Peur De Rein won nicely first time out this season at Uttoxeter, it was his debut over fences and he didn’t miss a beat – it was an impressive performance and the form of the race has…

A welcome return to form for the Tim Vaughan yard. Original quote: "Returns from a wind operation so that should help and will run with a tongue-tie too. Only 10-0 to carry but is still running 5lbs out of the handicap and as I've said with most of my runners at the moment - many…

Cracking winner for Henry and the team. Original quote: "Took a big step forward last time out at Exeter with a decent third at a big price. Dropped a few pounds for that helps and being that was only his second run back from a break and a wind op will improve for it too.…

An improved run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Step up in trip will help this evening after being outpaced over a mile last time. Should go close and looking forward to an improved run."

Just got nabbed in the final strides but still a solid effort. Original quote: "Been disappointing since a good run here in August. This looks easier and hopeful of a good e/w chance."

Battled on well to take third. Original quote: "All his wins are here and just denied in a similar race last time under today's rider. Should be thereabouts again if the race goes well for him and just a wide draw (10) as a disadvantage."

Top winner for Gay. Original quote: "Consistent sort at this sort of level - fourth last time out at Southwell over this trip and dropped a pound for that helps. George Bass booked to ride and he can claim 7lbs too and is a proven CD winner here. Only negative is the draw though really…

That's the first three winners on the day for the Moore camp! Original quote: "I thought CALL OFF THE DOGS would go close last time out at Plumpton where he generally puts in a decent performance. It may be that the trip last time was a shade too far so this slightly shorter trip may…

Second winner of the day for Gary! Original quote: "I am hoping BRIDLE LOANAN will have come on for his recent run nearly three weeks ago at Wincanton. That run was after a long break on ground that was quick enough so I am hoping that he will shape up better today and be in…

Easy win for Gary's promising hurdler. Original quote: "NASSALAM made light work of his rivals last time out here at Fontwell when he won by the proverbial country mile. We know it worked out to be a weak race but he was emphatic in his victory and with little competition his attitude was good. NASSALAM…
