Decent run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "Threatens to stay this far and was a winner here over shorter. Worth a try and has plenty of ability so no surprise to see him thereabouts if he gets the trip and gets a strong pace to aim at."

Great call from Lee. Original quote: "We've probably all got the Andrew Balding runner - Melody Of Life - to beat, but we are certainly not without a chance. Only had two runs for us, but the last of those was a big step forward when a close third at Wolverhampton over this trip. Fair…

Looks a rapidly-improving chaser for the Moore yard. Original quote: "Fairly easy winner last time here over a slightly longer trip. Goes on the ground, acts on the track. If it wasn't for the big weight we'd be more confident but doing a lot right at the moment and should have every chance still with…

Plugged on well to take third. Original quote: "Pleasing return run at Wetherby (3rd) back in December. That came off a break and has since had a wind op as seemed to get tired quickly the last day. A combination of that op and needing that run are reasons to suggest he can improve for…

Just got caught on the line - still a nice e/w return. Original quote: "Ran well for much of the race again last week at Lingfield - just getting overrun in the closing stages. Back out again quickly but taking his racing well and acts well here at Newcastle. Remains in great shape - looks…

No chance with the easy winner, but stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Star Dreamer runs in handicap for the first time today and hopefully should find things much easier. The track will suit and the step up to 12 should work too. Can go well."

Just touched off - still a top run. Original quote: "Excuses last time as went left at the start and then pulled way too hard over 6f at Southwell so lost all chance. Had three weeks off since that and dropped back to 5f here will help - providing he starts the race better! Well-drawn…

Another nice winner for the in-form Scott Dixon yard. Original quote: "The horses overall are running well at the moment, so that gives us encouragement. This 4 year-old is having his third run for us today and 8th career run in total. Yet to win but has run well here at Wolves in the past…

Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Monkey Puzzle is consistent but he is a little bit frustrating, he has plenty of ability but things have to go his way to a certain extent and he prefers good ground, which we haven’t had for a while. He is a half-brother to Presenting Percy and…

Promising run from Oliver's 6 year-old. Original quote: "Pebbly shaped like a stayer on his only run to date, a bumper at Ffos Las, where he ran on well to finish second. Unfortunately, he picked up an injury that day and hasn’t run for 597 days. He is as fit as I can get him…

Nice call from Tim. Original quote: "Very nice return run at Taunton bac at the end of November (4th of 16). Down a pound for that but has done well at home since. We are also of the opinion that the step up from 2m3f to 3m will suit having stayed on well over a…

Much better from Scott's horse and should be winning again before too long. Original quote: "Only second run for us but an experienced sort that has won 8 times on the AW and a CD winner here. Poor showing last time out but needed the run after a long time off and will be better…

Promising chase debut from Tim's horse - looks one to note next time. Original quote: "Would be a big ask coming back off almost a year off. Has had a wind operation since last season and the plan has been to go chasing with him. Has jumped well for this, but will be one of…

No chance with the first two, but a very promising run and one to note going forward. Original quote: "Showed ability to win a bumper back in February and did okay on debut hurdles run at Stratford (5th of 12). Still learning but has done well in the two months he's had off and looking…

Easy winner for Simon's horse.   Original quote: "Looked to be coming back to form last time and better handicapped now. Good claimer takes off a valuable 7lb and should be thereabouts if things go well for him and this is not too soon."

Stayed on well to take third. Original quote: "Did really well back in November - winning twice - but as a result shot up the handicap and is now 10lbs higher than the last of those successes. Tabitha's 5lb claim helps again and the horse has had a month off to get over that busy…

Top winner for Gary and the team. Original quote: "Fourth run today and has shown a fair level of form without winning. Just got run out of things at Kempton last time out (3rd) but learning all the time and with a nice draw in 4 looks to have a leading chance here and in…

Just failed. Original quote: "Having a great Winter and though this is a bit quick back after last weekend he only just does enough so may get away with it. Regular rider is elsewhere but top class replacement so just needs luck in-running. Obvious chance."

Stayed on well to take second. Original quote: "Yet to win from 6 starts but has not be disgraced and has ability at this sort of level. Had a month off since his last run here (5th of 11) and dropped a pound for that. Does need to learn to save a bit for the…

Top call from Gary and another nice TQ View winner this month. Original quote: "Hopefully our best chance of the day. Not really progresses over hurdles as we'd have liked. But is at home on the AW - won over this trip at Chelmsford back in September, which should give him every chance."
