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

DINO MAGIC was beaten less than a length by a much higher rated rival in a match at Exeter last month. Paul Nicholls' inmate looks potentially well treated on his handicap debut if that form is taken literally, and this extra distance should also suit. Myfanwy's Magic will appreciate the return to today's longer trip based on his second at Ludlow back in November, while Basman Palace got his act together when scoring at Wincanton and remains on an attractive mark.

On quicker ground and stepping up in trip, REMEMBER MOI, from a yard in fine form, looks interesting.

14:55 Taunton (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Rascallion made a winning stable debut for Henrietta Knight when successful in maiden company at Wincanton. He will likely have a say in proceedings once again, despite carrying a penalty, but is conceding plenty of weight to the four-year-old NARDARAN. The latter made a promising debut over timber at Kempton before struggling in the Listed Scottish Triumph Hurdle and he gets another chance at this more suitable level. Vaguely Royal is preferred of the remainder.

The unknown quantity is NARDARAN who ran a nice first race over hurdles before finishing well beaten in a Listed event.

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

Dirty Den finished just in front of PHOENIX RISEN (third) when runner-up here last month, but his jumping fell apart at Hereford last time, and Jeremy Scott's charge is fancied to turn the tables. The latter is only 2lb higher than when landing a tougher contest at Wincanton at the end of last year and another bold bid is anticipated. Taritino has been in the mix here of late and could land a blow.

A few with chances but POSTPONED LEGACY is armed with a 4yo allowance and his handicap debut was encouraging.

2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +0%) Another Day Out	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Another Day Out 4/1, Made too much use of comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m at Market Rasen last time; up in trip; stamina to prove but dangerous if allowed easy time up front Capable as she's shown during the winter but also comes with plenty of risk.

15:55 Taunton (Class 4) 28f Race Class Flow

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

The introduction of blinkers saw an improved bid from Chepstow runner-up Spotty Dog 20 days ago and he must enter calculations. However, Michael Hawker's gelding is 2lb out of the handicap and it could be worth taking a punt on SAINT BIBIANA. The eight-year-old should have learned plenty from her third-placed chase bow at Southwell last month and she looks more than capable of scoring in this discipline. Another Day Out makes more appeal than Anytrixwilldo.

The stoutly bred ANYTRIXWILLDO should appreciate this step up in trip and he'll definitely enjoy getting back on the drier ground.

16:25 Taunton (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

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

TINY TETLEY arrives on the back of a career-best victory at Exeter and another small-field affair looks an ideal opportunity for him to dominate once more. The seven-year-old is effectively racing off a 1lb lower mark if taking Callum Pritchard's 5lb claim into account and another bold bid is forecast. The biggest threat could emerge from Florencethemachine, who may enjoy reverting to timber, ahead of the downgraded Hardy Du Seuil.

Topweight HARDY DU SEUIL (nap) wasn't running badly until finding the Imperial Cup too tough and that wasn't too shoddy an effort.

Despite some less than fluent jumping, BUMPY EVANS completed a double over an extended 2m3f at Ffos Las three days ago with something in hand. The dual 3m point-to-point winner looks a likely improver up in trip and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to prevent a hat-trick. Unspeakable is entitled to build on his fourth-placed reappearance at Chepstow last month and the seven-year-old may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of C&D winner School For Scandal.

He might not be the most straightforward but BUMPY EVANS can defy a penalty and land the hat-trick on this step up in trip.

BIG BOY BARNEY offered plenty of encouragement on his fourth-placed Rules debut at Warwick last month. The winner subsequently finished a cracking second in a Grade 2 at the Aintree Festival and Fergal O'Brien's charge is unlikely to bump into anything of that calibre here. Calvino was too bad to be true when well beaten in sixth at Chepstow 20 days ago, but a reproduction of his debut fourth at Ascot would see him in the mix. Daring To Dream is the pick of the remainder.

A straightforward race to assess with BIG BOY BARNEY the solid one on form and Calvino the biggest danger on bare figures.

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.
