A much better run from Tim's horse. Original quote: "Kovera - Winning pointer but still to win under rules from 11 starts. Only second run over fences though so hoping there is more to come over the bigger obstacles and this doesn't look a great race. Light weight and the horses are running well so…

Great call from Scu!! Original quote: "Corner Creek - Course and distance winner that has not been at his best recently. Been given a break to freshen up and is in great form at home. Looks a weak race though and must have a big chance."

Great call from Daniel and a nice TQ View winner on the day too! Original quote: "Outrage - Big effort last time out to go down a head from a tough draw and also got slightly hampered when challenging. Course and distance winner here at Newcastle and should go close if breaking somewhat reasonably."

Spot-on from Mick. Original quote: "Channel Packet - Won at Nottingham last time out over 1m2f but we are back down to 7f this time but shows enough pace to cope with the drop in trip and the stiffer track will also help. Up only a pound but we've a 5lb claimer on this time…

Great winner for this young jockey. Original quote: "Pearl Noir - Ran a solid race in defeat over course and distance last time (2nd). Well drawn again here (1) and ground conditions to suit. Very inexperienced jockey for this apprentice race is the main concern - they have to start somewhere though and all else…

Decent place run. Original quote: "Disappointing last time but probably because the blinkers were left off.  Back on today and should have every chance and looks one of our better chances on the day."

A much better run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Dream Of Camelot - Very disappointing so far this season. Will improve for any rain which would give e/w chances, but not sure if the wet stuff will come today."

Loved the return to Brighton - top stuff! Original quote: "Fieldsman - A bit below-par the last few runs but returns to Brighton - a track he likes and has good form at. Headgear to blame for recent bad run- the blinkers are left off this time. Well-handicapped at the moment too and in good…

Battled on well to take second. Original quote: "Chitra - Bit of a tough draw and a slight step up in grade following her recent pair of wins. Should remain competitive though."

Stayed on really well to land the e/w money. Original quote: "Archimedes - Put a line through the last run as the blind came off too late in the stall and lost all chance as a result. In really good order since that mishap last week though and won't mind the track. Open race but…

Another solid e/w run from Simon's horse. Original quote: "El Borracho - Runner-up here last twice and deserves a race like this. Seems in great form and sure to go well if they go an even gallop."

Spot-on from Henry. Original quote: "Diamond Rock - Is a CD winner here at Stratford so we know the horse likes it here. Is on a workable mark and in good heart at home. The two recent winners in the field are feared but with the horse showing up well at home hopeful of a…

Nice winner for the in-form Tim Vaughan yard. Original quote: "Tight Call - First run for us after coming over from Ireland, where he's run twice. Showed fair form in his last run too at Galway when a close third of 5 in August. The Skelton horse to beat but we all get 7lbs off…

Only went down a neck but pulled well clear of the rest. Original quote: "Glorious Poet - Was a bit keen last time in the early part of the race so did well to finish third (of 14) that day. Handles soft ground and this 1m trip is fine too. Silvestre booked to ride is…

Well backed and easy to see why. Original quote: "Lincoln Park - Fourth run here today but a few firsts. It's the first run for the yard and also his debut outing in a handicap. Has shown fair form in three previous races and opening handicap mark looks fair. We'll know more on that score…

Top call from Charlie.   Original quote: "Divine Gift has done nothing wrong to date and has improved with every start. The ground will be perfect for him and I expect him to run well as usual. Only 7 runners now so only 2 places for the e/w but think he'll run better than odds…

Deserved win for Jamie's consistent horse. Original quote: "Between The Waters - Again, has been in the grip of the handicapper for his consistent performances and deserves to win one. He's bound to run his race too and should be involved. Page is able to claim 3lbs on this one."

Solid effort from Oliver's horse. Original quote: "Cervaro Mix runs in a bumper over 2m 2f. Cervaro Mix has had one run in a point to point in Ireland when pulling up in a maiden on heavy ground, there were only four finishers in the race so I’m guessing the ground was pretty desperate. Cervaro…

The race fell apart with some fallers but Gary's charge took full advatnage. Original quote: "Graasten - Fair hurdles but it's the first time over fences today. So far schooled well at home and a horse that's gone well fresh in the past, we are just slightly concerned about the ground though as does like…

Place money landed. Original quote: "Wicker - Course and distance winner that ran well in a similar race here two starts ago (4th). A pound lower this time and is back down to last winning mark. Ray continues in the saddle too and claims 5lbs this time. Draw 10 makes life hard though but his…
