1
1st (13) (11/1 -22%) Espressino
11/1(-22%)
(13) Espressino 11/1, Back on track when second at Exeter on penultimate start, but didn't impress with his jumping and paid the price for shortcomings in that department when unseating rider next time.
2
2nd (14) (5.5/1 +39%) Hahadi
5.5/1(+39%)
(14) Hahadi 5.5/1, Point winner who belatedly opened Rules account in a first-time visor at Wincanton (21.4f, good to firm) recently. Nudged up just 3 lb and claims with similar conditions forecast here.
3
3rd (9) (16/1 +11%) Head Lad
16/1(+11%)
(9) Head Lad 16/1, Landed a gamble on debut for Dan Skelton at Market Rasen last November, but ran no sort of a race at the same course a month later and absent since. Has rejoined former yard.
4
4th (15) (22/1 +0%) Never A Word
22/1(+0%)
(15) Never A Word 22/1, By no means disgraced when third in a 15-runner Newton Abbot selling handicap (18.5f) on return last month, but record in this sphere (0-22) tells a story.
5th
5th (1) (33/1 -32%) If Karl's Berg Did
33/1(-32%)
(1) If Karl's Berg Did 33/1, Encouraging signs when fourth on hurdles debut at Fontwell (19f) in August, but has failed to build on that since and mark for this handicap bow is no gift.
6th
6th (8) (25/1 -39%) Kuiper Belt
25/1(-39%)
(8) Kuiper Belt 25/1, Three-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott earlier in his career, but yet to show any real spark for this yard.
7th
7th (12) (25/1 -56%) Jawshan
25/1(-56%)
(12) Jawshan 25/1, Little impact in a maiden/novice hurdle last season, but makes his handicap debut in this sphere off a potentially handy mark judged on bits and pieces of Flat form.
|F|
|F| (5) (4/1 +0%) Christopher Robin
4/1(+0%)
(5) Christopher Robin 4/1, Off the mark for Tom Lacey at Southwell in August and done little wrong since, creditable fourth off this mark at Bangor (23f) last time. Very much a contender with this drop back in trip a good move.
|U|
|U| (4) (4/1 -60%) Knight Commander
4/1(-60%)
(4) Knight Commander 4/1, Snapped a long losing run at Hereford (21.7f) earlier this month and duly followed up under this rider over 18.5f at Exeter 7 days later. Big chance of completing the hat-trick under a penalty here.
|U|
|U| (10) (12/1 +25%) Carpool
12/1(+25%)
(10) Carpool 12/1, Runner-up twice in maiden/novice company last year, but hit-and-miss since switched to handicaps and record over hurdles stands at 0-11.
|U|
|U| (11) (12/1 +52%) Fancy A Dance
12/1(+52%)
(11) Fancy A Dance 12/1, Runner-up on second of his 2 starts between the flags, but little impact in this sphere to date, including on handicap bow at Southwell in August. Since undergone another wind operation.
|PU|
|PU| (3) (5/1 -11%) Level Of Intensity
5/1(-11%)
(3) Level Of Intensity 5/1, Posted much his best effort since returning from a lengthy absence in June when runner-up at Exeter (18.5f) last time. Remains on a potentially handy mark and needs considering.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (100/1 -100%) Pilansberg
100/1(-100%)
(2) Pilansberg 100/1, Last run over hurdles was 608 days ago and efforts on the Flat this year have been anything but inspiring (refused to race at Kempton on latest start in July). Debut for new yard.
LTO Selection:
13:40 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Isolate 3.33/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat for Martyn Meade. Failed to build on hurdles debut promise back from 8 months off at Bangor (16.7f, soft), but should be sharper now and this faster surface will help.
2
2nd (4) (2.5/1 -11%) Glory And Honour
2.5/1(-11%)
(4) Glory And Honour 2.5/1, First past the post sole start between the flags in February. Failed to justify favouritism on Rules debut in a bumper at Exeter (16.8f), but likely to improve on that now switched to hurdles.
3
3rd (1) (1.88/1 +25%) Celestial Force
1.88/1(+25%)
(1) Celestial Force 1.88/1, Fairly useful stayer on Flat who has won 2 of his 4 starts over hurdles, most recently a match over 19.8f at Wincanton. Just about sets the standard, but conceding weight all round will not be easy.
4
4th (2) (4/1 -60%) Caddyhill
4/1(-60%)
(2) Caddyhill 4/1, Well held in points and on hurdles debut in August, but big step forward when runner-up on debut for new yard at Hereford (16.2f) 15 days ago. Of strong interest here with Richard Johnson aboard.
5th
5th (7) (18/1 -13%) Judex Lefou
18/1(-13%)
(7) Judex Lefou 18/1, Placed on several occasions over hurdles for Thomas Mullins, but poor both starts for new yard last season, folding tamely at odds of 4/7 for Musselburgh maiden when last seen in February.
6th
6th (10) (200/1 -33%) Tranquil Dawn
200/1(-33%)
(10) Tranquil Dawn 200/1, Hasn't shown enough in a couple of bumpers to suggest that she'll make much of an impact on this hurdles debut.
7th
7th (3) (50/1 -25%) Dorking Rogue
50/1(-25%)
(3) Dorking Rogue 50/1, Well beaten on debut in a bumper last month and fared little better on recent hurdles bow at Exeter. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Glory And Honour.
8th
8th (9) (50/1 +50%) Valentino
50/1(+50%)
(9) Valentino 50/1, Out of a 2½m/2¾m hurdle winner, but yard rarely strikes with newcomers.
9th
9th (5) (100/1 +20%) Howardian Hills
100/1(+20%)
(5) Howardian Hills 100/1, Modest performer on the Flat (both wins gained at a lowly level on the all-weather) and probably best watched on this hurdles debut.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (300/1 -140%) Ritas Legacy
300/1(-140%)
(8) Ritas Legacy 300/1, Poor maiden on Flat for Roy Brotherton and has offered nothing in 2 starts over hurdles for new yard.
LTO Selection:
14:10 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(16) Marilyn Monroe 1.62/1, Winning Irish pointer who landed a bumper at Fontwell in May 2019. Little impact switched to hurdles last season, but could be a different proposition now upped in trip for this handicap debut.
2
2nd (3) (7.5/1 +25%) Hidden Depths
7.5/1(+25%)
(3) Hidden Depths 7.5/1, Back-to-back winner on the Flat at Bath this summer and has acquitted himself well back over hurdles, fourth of 12 in 21.7f Hereford handicap last time. Not discounted.
3
3rd (1) (7.5/1 -15%) Kabrit
7.5/1(-15%)
(1) Kabrit 7.5/1, Fair Flat winner who produced one of his better efforts in this sphere when third at Hereford (21.7f, good) recently. Each-way chance off 1 lb lower here.
4
4th (15) (6.5/1 -44%) Drumreagh
6.5/1(-44%)
(15) Drumreagh 6.5/1, Improved from out of the blue when finding just one too good in a 14-runner Uttoxeter handicap (23.3f, good) last month. Still, more needed if she's to strike off this 2 lb higher mark.
5th
5th (13) (10/1 +0%) Glengar
10/1(+0%)
(13) Glengar 10/1, Winner of 3m chase at Southwell in July, but pulled up last time and hard to know what to expect of him back in this sphere (well held all 5 previous start over hurdles).
6th
6th (2) (25/1 -108%) Mystic Court
25/1(-108%)
(2) Mystic Court 25/1, Patchy form since landing a maiden hurdle for Ben Pauling last year and stamina has to be taken on trust (untried beyond 20.4f).
7th
7th (12) (125/1 -89%) Comeragh Lad
125/1(-89%)
(12) Comeragh Lad 125/1, Maiden point winner in January, but has shown very little in 3 starts over hurdles to date.
8th
8th (9) (20/1 -67%) The Lion Queen
20/1(-67%)
(9) The Lion Queen 20/1, Showed a bit more on recent handicap debut at Hereford (19.7f, good), but will need to improve for this step up in trip if she's to take a hand in the finish.
9th
9th (11) (6.5/1 -44%) Bomber's Moon
6.5/1(-44%)
(11) Bomber's Moon 6.5/1, Winless following 11 attempts in this sphere, but made a positive start to this season when third in a 14-runner Uttoxeter handicap (23.3f, good) last month and claims if able to build on that.
10th
10th (8) (16/1 -14%) Amzac Magic
16/1(-14%)
(8) Amzac Magic 16/1, Now 3 lb lower than for his sole success in this sphere at Wincanton in March 2019, but reappearance display at Ffos Las was inauspicious. Tongue strap enlisted.
11th
11th (4) (16/1 +27%) Agincourt Reef
16/1(+27%)
(4) Agincourt Reef 16/1, Well held sole start last season and while he showed more spark on recent reappearance at Hereford, this 11-y-o is far from certain to build on that.
|PU|
|PU| (10) (200/1 -300%) Kerry's Boy
200/1(-300%)
(10) Kerry's Boy 200/1, Very modest in 5 starts over hurdles in 2018, and readily passed over on debut for new yard following a lengthy absence.
LTO Selection:
14:40 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(6) Rose To Fame 10/1, Dual winner of novice events in April 2019, including over this C&D, but his efforts since returning from a lengthy absence this year have lacked spark.
2
2nd (3) (11/1 +0%) Foreign Secretary
11/1(+0%)
(3) Foreign Secretary 11/1, Stepped up on opening run for this yard when 2¼ lengths third to Get Back Get Back at Plumpton last month. Clearly wasn't 100% next time and each-way claims if he puts his best foot forward.
3
3rd (5) (16/1 +0%) Nebuchadnezzar
16/1(+0%)
(5) Nebuchadnezzar 16/1, Gained breakthrough success at Fakenham (2m, good) on final start of last season, but bit to prove following a very low-key reappearance effort.
4
4th (4) (2.75/1 -57%) Friend Or Foe
2.75/1(-57%)
(4) Friend Or Foe 2.75/1, Won 2 of his 3 starts during 2018/19 campaign. Missed whole of last season, but resumed with a solid effort in a competitive Chepstow handicap (2m, good to firm) and major claims off the same mark.
5th
5th (8) (3.5/1 +13%) Andaleep
3.5/1(+13%)
(8) Andaleep 3.5/1, Successful twice on the level this year and hot on the heels of Get Back Get Back when third back in this sphere at Wincanton recently. Solid claims off a feather weight.
6th
6th (7) (10/1 -11%) Winds Of Fire
10/1(-11%)
(7) Winds Of Fire 10/1, Useful winner on Flat for Charlie Appleby and shaped well on first 2 starts over hurdles last season. However, he disappointed on handicap bow at Carlisle when last seen in February.
7th
7th (2) (9/1 +10%) Waterproof
9/1(+10%)
(2) Waterproof 9/1, Wide-margin winner of 2m maiden hurdle at Fakenham in January. Performed with credit in a couple of runs on the Flat during the summer, but more needed on handicap debut in this sphere for new yard.
8th
8th (1) (3.33/1 +17%) Get Back Get Back
3.33/1(+17%)
(1) Get Back Get Back 3.33/1, Fair winner on the Flat and successful in handicap hurdles at Uttoxeter and Plumpton this year. Went down fighting at Wincanton (15.3f, good to firm) recently and should be on the premises once more.
LTO Selection:
15:10 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Court Royale 2.5/1, Three-time hurdles winner who gained breakthrough over fences at Stratford in July. Not so good next 2 starts, but couldn't rule out back on faster ground.
2
2nd (6) (4/1 +71%) Romanor
4/1(+71%)
(6) Romanor 4/1, Just 1 lb higher than for his breakthrough success over fences at Stratford in July, but has failed to build on that in 4 subsequent starts.
3
3rd (1) (2.75/1 +66%) Demon D'Aunou
2.75/1(+66%)
(1) Demon D'Aunou 2.75/1, Made successful debut over fences at Cartmel in July, but has found life tougher since and remains 8 lb above that winning mark.
|F|
|F| (4) (3/1 +63%) Folly Gate
3/1(+63%)
(4) Folly Gate 3/1, Half-brother to 6 winners, including high-class chaser Alary. Gradual improvement in trio of novice hurdles last term and better expected now switched to fences.
|F|
|F| (7) (9/1 +78%) Theatre Mix
9/1(+78%)
(7) Theatre Mix 9/1, Modest form over hurdles and she looks up against it on this chase debut.

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

1
1st (7) (6/1 -9%) From The Heart
6/1(-9%)
(7) From The Heart 6/1, Beaten a long way on return last month, but firmly back on track when scoring at Chepstow (23.6f, good) recently. 5 lb rise fair enough and should make his presence felt.
2
2nd (8) (10/1 +9%) Big Difference
10/1(+9%)
(8) Big Difference 10/1, Ex-pointer who scored over hurdles in 2019. Pulled up in Bangor chase when last seen in February but had shaped with a bit of promise when fourth at Ludlow prior to that. Not discounted.
3
3rd (1) (12/1 -20%) Mr Caffrey
12/1(-20%)
(1) Mr Caffrey 12/1, Successful at second attempt over fences at Bangor last year, but more miss than hit since and needs to raise his game with blinkers refitted here.
4
4th (10) (7.5/1 +12%) Dido
7.5/1(+12%)
(10) Dido 7.5/1, Six-time winner between the flags and though 0-8 under Rules, he has posted creditable efforts in 3 handicap chases since rejoining third yard. Each-way chance.
5th
5th (3) (4/1 -45%) Earth Leader
4/1(-45%)
(3) Earth Leader 4/1, Prolific winner for Rose Loxton, 4-7 between the flags and 2-3 in hunter chases. Very much of interest on handicap chase debut for respected new yard.
|F|
|F| (2) (5/1 +64%) Storm Home
5/1(+64%)
(2) Storm Home 5/1, Creditable efforts over hurdles on first 2 starts of this season, but well held at Hereford last time and was pulled up on latest start in this sphere back in July 2019.
|U|
|U| (11) (7.5/1 +25%) Golden Poet
7.5/1(+25%)
(11) Golden Poet 7.5/1, Runner-up on 2 of his last 3 starts, including at Wincanton (25.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago. However, yet to get his head in front on this side of the Irish Sea and others look stronger here.
|PU|
|PU| (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Schnabel
4.5/1(+10%)
(6) Schnabel 4.5/1, Dual hurdles winner for David Dennis and positive start for this yard this season, winning handicap chases at Uttoxeter and Fontwell. Big player.
|PU|
|PU| (5) (25/1 -108%) Mrs Miggins
25/1(-108%)
(5) Mrs Miggins 25/1, Off the mark at second attempt over fences at Southwell last month. Subsequent display at Uttoxeter can be excused, but improvement needed if she's to emerge on top here in any case.
|PU|
|PU| (12) (40/1 -186%) No No Cardinal
40/1(-186%)
(12) No No Cardinal 40/1, Stepped up on previous efforts this year when third at Wincanton (25.1f, good to firm) recently, but he's not the most reliable of propositions and is 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights.
|PU|
|PU| (9) (40/1 +20%) Punkawallah
40/1(+20%)
(9) Punkawallah 40/1, Winless following a half-a-dozen attempts over hurdles and recent chase debut was hardly inspiring. Yard also saddles Dido.

1st (6) (6/1 +40%) Karlie
6/1(+40%)
(6) Karlie 6/1, €3,500 3-y-o, £42,000 5-y-o. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Locksmith. Winner of the second of her 2 starts in maiden points and market check advised.
2
2nd (3) (7.5/1 +70%) Electric Annie
7.5/1(+70%)
(3) Electric Annie 7.5/1, €10,000 3-y-o.. Half-sister to fair hurdler/chaser Superior Command, stays 2¾m, and bumper winner The Second Coming. Didn't show much in 2 starts between the flags.
3
3rd (9) (3.5/1 -40%) My Keepsake
3.5/1(-40%)
(9) My Keepsake 3.5/1, Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Catherines Well and bumper winner Neville, stays 3m. Represents top yard and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant.
4
4th (7) (7/1 +36%) Lily Glitters
7/1(+36%)
(7) Lily Glitters 7/1, £8,000 3-y-o, Shirocco filly. Sister to useful 21f hurdle winner Tedham, stays 3m. Perhaps more of a long-term project, but she's in good hands and needs a second look in the betting.
5th
5th (10) (4/1 +75%) Phil Healy
4/1(+75%)
(10) Phil Healy 4/1, €12,000 3-y-o, Shirocco filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Ballyarthur, stayed 3¼m, and bumper winner/fair hurdler Sunday Serenade. Probably more of a long-term prospect.
6th
6th (12) (14/1 +72%) Tiffany Rose
14/1(+72%)
(12) Tiffany Rose 14/1, £4,500 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy filly. Sister to fair hurdler The Premier Celtic, stays 2¾m. Will only be of interest on debut if the market vibes are notably upbeat.
7th
7th (2) (7/1 -56%) Brave Bairn
7/1(-56%)
(2) Brave Bairn 7/1, Brave Mansonnien filly. Dam unraced. Yard no stranger to success in bumpers and she's one to note in the betting.
8th
8th (4) (66/1 +0%) Hazy Dream
66/1(+0%)
(4) Hazy Dream 66/1, Dream Eater filly. Dam, 17f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful 2m/17f hurdle winner Tominator. Yard is hardly synonymous with winning newcomers.
9th
9th (14) (25/1 +50%) What A Pleasure
25/1(+50%)
(14) What A Pleasure 25/1, Al Namix filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair hurdler Dry Ol'party, stays 23f. Dam maiden hurdler. Like stablemate Hazy Dream, she'll probably come on for the run.
10th
10th (13) (8/1 +33%) Trump Lady
8/1(+33%)
(13) Trump Lady 8/1, Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stays 4¼m) Regal Encore. Off the mark at third attempt in Irish points in March and interesting to see how she fares in the betting.
11th
11th (8) (100/1 -52%) Midsummer Moon
100/1(-52%)
(8) Midsummer Moon 100/1, Failed to land a blow on debut in a Wincanton bumper for Bill Turner last November.

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.
