1	1 1st (1) (8/11 +51%) Loup De Maulde		0.727273 8/11(+51%)																															(1) Loup De Maulde 8/11, Tough and reliable customer scored four times around 3m last year and opened his account over fences in good style at Huntingdon (23.6f) 9 days ago, taking over 3 out and quickening clear. Will take some stopping under a penalty on that evidence. Four-time hurdle winner; scored off lower chase mark last week; respected under penalty.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/1 +10%) King Turgeon		9 9/1(+10%)																															(3) King Turgeon 9/1, Ran well when runner-up on return at Chepstow in November and duly went one place better at Exeter (24.2f, soft) later that month. However, recent efforts not so inspiring, disappointing when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f) 6 weeks ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces. Good winner at Exeter in November but form has dipped since; has a point to prove.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/2 -22%) Mortens Leam		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(7) Mortens Leam 11/2, Veteran who has been very lightly raced in recent seasons and, having displayed encouraging sings when second over C&D last month, he duly went one place better at Stratford (22.5f) 2 weeks ago, asserting near the finish. This rates tougher, however. Second over C&D last month and went one better at Stratford a fortnight ago; a player.
4	4 4th (4) (50/1 -52%) Bbold		50 50/1(-52%)																															(4) Bbold 50/1, Fairly useful 3m winner at his best and went with zest for a long way (in refitted blinkers) when sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (26.5f) in June on final start for Syd Hosie. Absent since and probably best watched on return with headgear discarded. Good-ground specialist; not the force of old and makes stable debut after 273-day layoff.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +67%) Off To A Flyer		4 4/1(+67%)																															(5) Off To A Flyer 4/1, Successful over hurdles at Ayr (24.3f) last spring but not kicked on as expected this term, including in trio of starts over fences in recent months, pulled up at Wincanton (20f) in February. Subsequently undergone wind surgery and interesting what the market makes of him with tongue strap applied. Good fourth over hurdles in December; very little has gone to plan in first three chases.
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 -100%) No No Maestro		14 14/1(-100%)																															(2) No No Maestro 14/1, Built up a good strike rate for this yard and gained fourth success over fences at Uttoxeter (26f) back in June. Absent subsequently but unlikely he'll be lacking for fitness on return and not out of things. Won when last in action but returns from eight-month absence on career-high mark.

15:50 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Four of the seven contenders in this contest are last-time-out winners, with slight preference for LOUP DE MAULDE, who recorded a seven-length victory at Huntingdon. Robbie Llewellyn's seven-year-old hadn't been seen in this sphere since June 2022 prior to that success and he is taken to go in again, despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty. No No Maestro was victorious by a similar margin to the selection over 3m2f at Uttoxeter when last seen in June last year and he could have a say off a 4lb higher mark. Moytier takes a step up in trip and he isn't out of it either.

A much-improved model over hurdles last year, LOUP DE MAULDE transferred the progress shown in that sphere to chasing when running out a comfortable winner at Huntingdon 9 days ago and a bold follow up bid looks on the cards under a penalty. Fellow last-time-out winner's Moytier and Mortens Leam are others fancied to be in the shake up.

There is no strong temptation to oppose LOUP DE MAULDE (nap), who assumed control quite a long way from home at Huntingdon last week.

1	1 1st (1) (12/1 -33%) Wolf Prince		12 12/1(-33%)																															(1) Wolf Prince 12/1, Performed with credit on first 2 starts for this yard in 2022 but missed the whole of last season and hasn't shown much at Doncaster and over this C&D since returning from a lengthy absence. Twice been tailed off after an absence, last time here finishing well behind Celtic Art.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/4 +61%) Toonagh Warrior		1.75 7/4(+61%)																															(5) Toonagh Warrior 7/4, Duly built on promising debut for this yard when landing a 2m Wetherby novice in November before going close on handicap bow at Ascot the following month. Not disgraced both subsequent starts and he's a major player. Doing well for his new team and peak efforts make for excellent reading; chance.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/4 +25%) Celtic Art		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(3) Celtic Art 9/4, Scored twice at Wincanton last season and returned to form when landing a 6-runner Lingfield handicap in November. Latest C&D third was a decent effort and, with the drying ground a good thing where this 7-y-o is concerned, he should make his presence felt. Not on a bad mark at all and ran an encouraging third behind an improving novice over C&D.
4	4 4th (4) (2/1 +33%) Amelia's Dance		2 2/1(+33%)																															(4) Amelia's Dance 2/1, Winless since 2022 but she likes it here (3 of her 4 career wins have been gained over C&D) and she's been knocking firmly on the door this season, finding just one too good on 5 of her 6 starts since October. Another bold show on the cards. Tough mark but reliable around here and hard to envisage her not being involved.
5th	2 5th (2) (125/1 -594%) Manor Park		125 125/1(-594%)																															(2) Manor Park 125/1, Resumed winning ways at Newton Abbot last July but absent since finishing out with the washing in the Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen later that month. Probably best watched starting out for new yard here. Multiple winner but makes stable debut after a lengthy absence.

16:20 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

CELTIC ART looks the way to go as the seven-year-old was beaten four lengths into third in this grade over C&D last time and he only has a 1lb higher mark to contend with. It would be no surprise to see him get his head back in front, while Amelia's Dance will be looking to better her second-placed finishes on five of her last six starts. Toonagh Warrior rounds out the shortlist.

Stuart Edmunds has his string in good order and can strike here with TOONAGH WARRIOR, who was just edged out in a strong Ascot handicap in December and he performed with greater credit than his finishing position would suggest at Newbury last time. Amelia's Dance is hard to knock, for all that it's been a while since her latest success, and she is feared most ahead of the hat-trick seeking Hara Kiri and Celtic Art.

A tight handicap. CELTIC ART ran really well behind an improving novice here last time and today's drier surface is in his favour

1	7 1st (7) (8/1 -23%) Annie Wicks		8 8/1(-23%)																															(7) Annie Wicks 8/1, Well held completed starts over hurdles and beaten 28¼ lengths when third of 6 in mares novice handicap at Ffos Las on chasing debut. Kept jumping right at Ffos Las so Taunton may suit better; still has enough to prove.
2	11 2nd (11) (12/1 +76%) Firefly Lane		12 12/1(+76%)																															(11) Firefly Lane 12/1, Winning pointer but has achieved little so far under Rules and looks up against it from out of the weights. Won a point but rules form is poor and has a lot to prove over fences.
3	10 3rd (10) (14/1 +0%) Sevenofus		14 14/1(+0%)																															(10) Sevenofus 14/1, Point winner who was placed in a series of handicap hurdles at around 2½m in 2022 and all the better for belated return when runner-up here (18.2f) on chase bow. Not in same form at Wincanton since but ground might have been too testing. Soft no good last time and granted goodish ground she's a player on peak form.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 -14%) Our Nel		4 4/1(-14%)																															(3) Our Nel 4/1, Made the frame all 3 starts over hurdles and positive start in this sphere when third in a 7-runner Fakenham handicap (21.2f, heavy) in December. Showed promise before her departure under an inefficient ride here since so worth another chance. Beaten when falling here last time but previous Fakenham third brings her into it.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/3 -11%) Cooleenymore		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(4) Cooleenymore 10/3, Made the frame in all 5 of her handicap hurdle runs and no reason why she shouldn't take to this sphere (placed in points in Ireland). Respected. Consistent maiden hurdler and on pedigree should be as good over fences.
6th	6 6th (6) (40/1 -186%) Lady Pacifico		40 40/1(-186%)																															(6) Lady Pacifico 40/1, Flat/hurdles winner who made a decent start for this stable when third of 8 in 22.5f Leicester on chase bow in November. Ran badly back over hurdles since, however. 3m1f too far hurdling last time; had previously made an encouraging chase debut.
7th	9 7th (9) (9/2 +78%) Poet's Reflection		4.5 9/2(+78%)																															(9) Poet's Reflection 9/2, Placed twice off higher marks than this over fences last spring and she stepped up on her reappearance spin over hurdles when fourth here (18,2f) last month. Well held at Wincanton since, however. Poor strike-rate and needs a revival, but drying conditions are in her favour.
8th	5 8th (5) (25/1 -257%) Penny Mallow		25 25/1(-257%)																															(5) Penny Mallow 25/1, Bumper/hurdles winner but well below that level in 7 starts over fences so far. Assessor continues to relinquish his grip but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Stable having plenty of winners but this mare needs to pull her socks up.
9th	2 9th (2) (11/2 -38%) Come On Du Berlais		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(2) Come On Du Berlais 11/2, Bumper winner in 2022 for Gordon Elliott. Failed to win from 10 attempts over hurdles but not disgraced sent chasing went third at Ludlow last month so not taken lightly with headgear now applied. Placed a few times over hurdles; third on chase debut and now goes in cheekpieces.
8	8 |PU| (8) (16/1 +52%) Nathan Walker		16 16/1(+52%)																															(8) Nathan Walker 16/1, Poor maiden hurdler who offered little sent chasing when a remote fourth of six at Plumpton in January. Hard to make a case for. Modest maiden who was beaten a distance on her switch to fences two months ago.
1	1 |PU| (1) (18/1 -125%) Jane Du Berlais		18 18/1(-125%)																															(1) Jane Du Berlais 18/1, Made her first completed start over hurdles a successful one at Lingfield in December 2022 but has failed to complete on her last 5 outings, including over fences. This a big drop in class at least. Has failed to complete in her last five appearances, the last twice over fences.

16:50 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

COOLEENYMORE has been performing with credit in defeat over hurdles of late and she makes plenty of appeal on her chasing debut. Robert Walford's mare boasts a pointing background and this looks a suitable opportunity for the eight-year-old to get off the mark. A case can also be made for Come On Du Berlais, who should have learnt plenty from her third-placed fencing bow at Ludlow last month. Our Nel and Lady Pacifico also have the ability to figure in the finish.

OUR NEL is worth another chance to build on her chase debut promise having been given an inefficient ride before falling here 7 weeks ago. Come On Du Berlais made a decent start to her chase career when third at Ludlow so is another to consider, while Sevenofus can bounce back returned to better ground.

This may go to COME ON DU BERLAIS who moved well for a long way at Ludlow when third to a well-handicapped winner.

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +0%) I Play County		7 7/1(+0%)																															(4) I Play County 7/1, Doyen gelding. Winner of his sole start in Irish points and showed promise when fourth of 18 in Doncaster bumper on his debut. Failed to build on it when well-held third in similar event there since but remains with potential. Shade disappointing at Doncaster last month but made very promising rules debut there.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 -80%) Bridie's Beau		4.5 9/2(-80%)																															(1) Bridie's Beau 9/2, €65,000 3-y-o, Blue Bresil gelding. Dam useful 2¼m/2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 25f) Imperial Alcazar. Interesting newcomer and is preferred by Harry Cobden. Out of a useful hurdler and represents a top stable; must be considered on debut.
3	7 3rd (7) (28/1 -100%) Blacksamssenorita		28 28/1(-100%)																															(7) Blacksamssenorita 28/1, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Havana Hermano, stays 29f, and fair hurdler/chase winner Havana Dancer. Much respected debutante. Half-sister to useful jumper Havana Hermano; stable not prolific in bumpers.
4	6 4th (6) (11/2 +8%) Super Saint		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(6) Super Saint 11/2, €135,000 Saint Des Saints gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler in France/Italy Champ de Bataille. Dam 2¼m hurdle winner in France. One to note on debut for top stable but Harry Cobden rides Bridie's Beau. Half-brother to a triple Italian Grade 1 hurdle winner; Cobden rides Nicholls' other one.
5th	14 5th (14) (33/1 +67%) Walden		33 33/1(+67%)																															(14) Walden 33/1, Waldpark gelding. Dam 12.5f winner on Flat in France. Others appeal more on this occasion. Out of a French Flat winner; stable 0-31 in bumpers in recent seasons.
6th	12 6th (12) (9/1 +44%) Rowdy		9 9/1(+44%)																															(12) Rowdy 9/1, €31,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Big Bad Bear, stays 23f, and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Wewillgowithplanb. Placed in a point in February and in good hands so he needs considering. Remote second in a maiden point last month; improvement needed on this rules debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 -146%) Full Monty		16 16/1(-146%)																															(2) Full Monty 16/1, Promising Westerner gelding who finished fourth of 13 in bumper at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) on NH debut. Off 7 months but likely to improve and worth a market check. Well-held fourth when warm favourite for last summer's debut but might do better here.
8th	3 8th (3) (66/1 +0%) Henry Pick		66 66/1(+0%)																															(3) Henry Pick 66/1, Cityscape gelding. Dam, fairly useful 2m hurdle winner, also 9.7f winner who stayed 1½m on Flat. Market can guide. Out of a fairly useful hurdler but stable has very modest strike-rate in bumpers.
9th	10 9th (10) (125/1 -150%) Golden Moonshake		125 125/1(-150%)																															(10) Golden Moonshake 125/1, Zoffany gelding. Had a wind op/tongue strap on before coming in fourth of 9 in bumper at this C&D (heavy, 28/1) on NH debut 26 days ago. Needs to build on it. Beaten about 34l when fourth of nine over C&D (soft) on last month's debut.
8	8 |B| (8) (11/1 +67%) Exmoor Plum		11 11/1(+67%)																															(8) Exmoor Plum 11/1, Mount Nelson mare. Dam ran twice over hurdles. Betting can prove an accurate indicator. Second foal; dam of little account, half-sister to a low-grade hurdle winner.
9	9 |B| (9) (14/1 +79%) O'malley		14 14/1(+79%)																															(9) O'malley 14/1, Ocovango mare. Closely related to fair hurdler Rocco Royale. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 23f) Slieveardagh. Others appeal more this time. Closely related to fair hurdler Rocco Royale; considered only if lively in the betting.
11	11 |F| (11) (9/4 -20%) Oakley's Way		2.25 9/4(-20%)																															(11) Oakley's Way 9/4, Promising third of 9 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy, 15/8) on NH debut in December, running green. This son of Walk In The Park is a half-brother to top-class 2m chaser Special Tiara and rates a player. Beaten favourite but still displayed significant promise when third on Wincanton debut.

17:20 Taunton NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Oakley's Way posted a solid third on his debut at Wincanton in December and Anthony Honeyball's charge sets a fair standard to aim at. However, 65,000-euro newcomer BRIDIE'S BEAU is the first foal out of Grade 2 hurdle winner Jessber's Dream and he could have too much class for these rivals. I Play County has offered enough in two appearances under Rules to suggest that he can play a hand in the finish as well.

The market should reveal plenty but Anthony Honeyball's OAKLEY'S WAY shaped well when a debut third at Wincanton and this half-brother to the top-class 2m chaser Special Tiara can build on it and come out on top. Paul Nicholls saddles two interesting newcomers though in the shape of Bridie's Beau and Super Saint and they command plenty of respect along with fellow debutants Shady Wadey and Rowdy.

Placed in what has turned out to be a fairly good junior bumper at Wincanton in December, OAKLEY'S WAY gets the verdict here.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
