12:55 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (5) (1.5/1 -142%) Iliko D'olivate	1.5/1(-142%)	(5) Iliko D'olivate 1.5/1, Fair form in 2 starts on Flat and definite promise when runner-up on hurdles debut in a juvenile hurdle at Compiegne (16.9f) back in March. Very much the type to do better now starting out for top stable on back of a wind op.
2 2nd (10) (8/1 +0%) Way Out	8/1(+0%)	(10) Way Out 8/1, Off the mark in Irish points at the third attempt back in March and he displayed plenty of ability on first 2 starts in bumpers. Not at same level at Wincanton on Boxing Day but he could well get back on track now hurdling.
3 3rd (9) (1.5/1 +63%) Pleasant Man	1.5/1(+63%)	(9) Pleasant Man 1.5/1, Useful stayer on Flat who was picked up from Roger Charlton for 175,000 gns. Broke a blood vessel in the Adonis at Kempton on hurdles bow last February and didn't find a great deal on return at Aintree (following wind op) 37 days ago. May well come forward from that.
4 4th (1) (16/1 -78%) Bertie Wooster	16/1(-78%)	(1) Bertie Wooster 16/1, Good pedigree and having offered little on bumper debut last spring, he took a step forward when midfield in a 15-runner Chepstow novice hurdle in November. Rates a likely type to do better again.
5th 5th (2) (18/1 +10%) Court Cian	18/1(+10%)	(2) Court Cian 18/1, Easily best effort in his 5 bumpers when runner-up at Kilbeggan on final start for Gearoid Patrick Brouder in September. Now goes hurdling.
6th 6th (11) (22/1 +21%) Faerie Cutlass	22/1(+21%)	(11) Faerie Cutlass 22/1, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Showed a bit when midfield in a 16-runner Warwick bumper (2m) on debut in November, plugging on. This greater test of stamina should suit now tackling timber.
7th 7th (12) (9/1 +78%) Tango Arumba	9/1(+78%)	(12) Tango Arumba 9/1, Irish point winner who made all on bumper debut at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in June. However, handicaps may be more his bag in this sphere judged on pair of exploits in novice/maiden company this winter. Hood goes on.
8th 8th (4) (125/1 +38%) Horizon D'or	125/1(+38%)	(4) Horizon D'or 125/1, Runner-up second of 2 starts in Irish points but he has offered little in trio of starts over hurdles. Others appeal more.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (40/1 +60%) Mr Snow Way	40/1(+60%)	(8) Mr Snow Way 40/1, Half-brother to very smart hurdler/winning chaser Summerville Boy but just minor promise in bumpers and no real short-term encouragement to glean from his efforts in maiden/novice hurdles so far this campaign.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (3) (50/1 -79%) Harbour Shore	50/1(-79%)	(3) Harbour Shore 50/1, €32,000 3-y-o, Kalanisi gelding. 33/1, not knocked about when ninth in 13-runner Chepstow bumper (2m) on debut in November. Hurdles debut.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (200/1 +0%) Instant Gambler	200/1(+0%)	(6) Instant Gambler 200/1, Showed little both completed starts over hurdles.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (7) (250/1 -25%) Kalibrate	250/1(-25%)	(7) Kalibrate 250/1, Offered little in bumpers/over hurdles to date.

13:10 Ayr Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (4) (9/1 +10%) El Poppochapo	9/1(+10%)	(4) El Poppochapo 9/1, Down the field in handful of bumper starts and bit of promise on 2 of her 3 starts in maiden hurdles in recent months. Cheekpieces go on now but handicaps entitled to be more her bag moving forward.
2 2nd (3) (1.2/1 +13%) Champagnesocialist	1.2/1(+13%)	(3) Champagnesocialist 1.2/1, Wide-margin bumper winner and bright start over hurdles when runner-up in a mares' maiden hurdle at Tramore (20.3f) in October. Strictly below that level when filling same spot at Sedgefield since but she's very much a player in this line up.
3 3rd (7) (6.5/1 -8%) Our Pink Lady	6.5/1(-8%)	(7) Our Pink Lady 6.5/1, Westerner filly who did shape better than in bumpers when third in a Catterick maiden (19.3f) on hurdling debut 6 weeks ago. In good hands and possible she can build on that here.
4 4th (2) (80/1 +0%) Bowland Belle	80/1(+0%)	(2) Bowland Belle 80/1, Boasts a decent jumps pedigree and she showed ability when midfield in 9-runner Wetherby bumper in November. Pulled up on hurdles bow at that venue on Boxing Day though, and likely one for later on in this sphere.
5th 5th (5) (150/1 -50%) Nairobi Girl	150/1(-50%)	(5) Nairobi Girl 150/1, Point bumper winner but hasn't made any impact under Rules to date, pulled over hurdles at Sedgefield 38 days ago. Can only be watched with cheekpieces now fitted.
6th 6th (6) (50/1 +0%) Not In Kansas	50/1(+0%)	(6) Not In Kansas 50/1, Gentlewave mare. Dam (h80) maiden hurdler. Tongue tied, ran to just a poor level when sixth of 10 in bumper at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft, 14/1) on NH debut in May. Hurdles debut.
\|F\| \|F\| (1) (1.5/1 -20%) Aubis Walk	1.5/1(-20%)	(1) Aubis Walk 1.5/1, Fetched £120,000 on the back of an Irish point win and promise in finishing runner-up both starts in mares' novice hurdles 8 months apart, collared dying strides at Kelso (20.9f) 5 weeks ago. Open to further improvement and shortlisted here.

13:25 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (1.5/1 -9%) Cap Du Mathan	1.5/1(-9%)	(1) Cap Du Mathan 1.5/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who scored over hurdles here last January following a 2-year absence. Chase debut effort was low-key but has left that behind with creditable efforts on his next 2 starts and bold show likely.
2 2nd (4) (10/1 -11%) Earth Company	10/1(-11%)	(4) Earth Company 10/1, Successful twice from 4 starts over hurdles last season but well held on return/chase debut at Newbury. Early faller at the same course recently and he now has a bit to prove.
3 3rd (3) (4.5/1 +10%) Robin's Dream	4.5/1(+10%)	(3) Robin's Dream 4.5/1, Showed plenty over hurdles during 2020/21 campaign, winner of a 2m Huntingdon maiden when last seen 19 months ago. Subsequent absence naturally a concern ahead of this chase debut but yard landed this race last year and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.
4 4th (2) (1.38/1 +15%) Call Of The Wild	1.38/1(+15%)	(2) Call Of The Wild 1.38/1, Won sole bumper start and 2 of his 5 starts over timber. Respectable third on return at Ascot in October and while he didn't get very far on recent chase debut at Doncaster, this 6-y-o possesses the scope to make his mark in this sphere.

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

13:40 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (2.75/1 -22%) Horacio Apple's	2.75/1(-22%)	(1) Horacio Apple's 2.75/1, Fair form in bumpers and when third in novice hurdles at Carlisle and Bangor this winter, still looking inexperienced. Looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so rates a player.
2 2nd (7) (2.75/1 +61%) Economic Editor	2.75/1(+61%)	(7) Economic Editor 2.75/1, Remains a maiden in this sphere and only eighth of 19 in handicap at Wetherby (24.1f) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on with more required.
3 3rd (6) (7/1 +42%) Moonacura	7/1(+42%)	(6) Moonacura 7/1, Appeared to take a step forward when third in 2½m Uttoxeter handicap in February but nowhere near that level in 3 subsequent starts, jumping poorly here on his return.
4 4th (3) (9/1 -20%) Lewa House	9/1(-20%)	(3) Lewa House 9/1, Dug deep to land a big-field handicap at Hexham in November but only sixth in 22f Kelso handicap last time. Sort to bounce back.
5th 5th (8) (7/1 +13%) September Daisy	7/1(+13%)	(8) September Daisy 7/1, Not disgraced on both runs for her new yard this term, third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f) 46 days ago. Not ruled out in her bid for a maiden success despite being 5 lb out of the handicap.
6th 6th (9) (40/1 -21%) New Zealander	40/1(-21%)	(9) New Zealander 40/1, Long-standing maiden hurlder who came in well held on her chase debut at Musselburgh 8 days ago. Hard to warm to from 6 lb out of the handicap.
7th 7th (2) (22/1 -238%) Dot Cotton	22/1(-238%)	(2) Dot Cotton 22/1, Fair ex-Irish maiden. Hinted at a revival when third of 9 in 2m handicap here 18 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Needs considering now her stamina is drawn out more.
8th 8th (5) (6/1 -50%) Your Place	6/1(-50%)	(5) Your Place 6/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 7/1 and visored for 1st time, good second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f) 46 days ago. Others remain more persuasive, however.
9th 9th (4) (14/1 -40%) Wotsmyname	14/1(-40%)	(4) Wotsmyname 14/1, Still a maiden and he went backwards from his reappearance/stable debut when twelfth of 17 in handicap here (20.4f) 7 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

13:55 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (9) (0.4/1 +0%) Rare Middleton	0.4/1(+0%)	(9) Rare Middleton 0.4/1, Fairly useful form in 2 starts on the Flat in Ireland for Andrew Oliver, winner of a 1¼m Leopardstown maiden in October (second has won since). Picked up for 215,000 gns later that month and he's an interesting recruit to hurdling for top yard.
2 2nd (6) (10/1 -18%) Parc D'Amour	10/1(-18%)	(6) Parc D'Amour 10/1, Won Doncaster bumper on debut last spring and there was promise in his hurdles debut third at Uttoxeter (15.8f) on return in November. Disappointing over the same C&D since but it's too soon to write this 6-y-o off.
3 3rd (7) (28/1 +30%) The Scorpion King	28/1(+30%)	(7) The Scorpion King 28/1, Showed ability in a couple of bumpers last season, particularly when runner-up at Sedgefield, but there have been very few positives to glean from his efforts over hurdles so far.
4 4th (8) (20/1 +20%) Uncle Arthur	20/1(+20%)	(8) Uncle Arthur 20/1, Confirmed his debut promise when landing a 6-runner bumper at Worcester (2m) in June. Poor both starts since switched to hurdles, though, and now has plenty to prove.
5th 5th (5) (7.5/1 +17%) Moodofthemoment	7.5/1(+17%)	(5) Moodofthemoment 7.5/1, Successful (beat sole other finisher) on last of 4 starts in Irish points. Bettered Rules debut effort when fourth of 15 in a heavy-ground Ffos Las maiden hurdle (15.8f) recently and possibilities here if able to build on that.
6th 6th (1) (7/1 -17%) Bascule	7/1(-17%)	(1) Bascule 7/1, Useful on the Flat, successful 4 times on the AW at up to 1¾m. Hasn't shown much in a couple of runs in this sphere at Newbury, albeit the races he contested there were probably significantly stronger than this and he's worth another chance.
7th 7th (4) (14/1 +13%) King's Castle	14/1(+13%)	(4) King's Castle 14/1, Fair performer on that Flat (stays 1¾m), performing with credit in handicaps at Epsom and Salisbury for new yard in September. Stamina won't be an issue now switched to hurdles and could have a part to play if his jumping passes the test.
\|U\| \|U\| (10) (150/1 +25%) Birdie Putt	150/1(+25%)	(10) Birdie Putt 150/1, Winless following 5 attempts on the level for the Johnstons and, having changed hands for just 2,000 gns last month, she got no further than the first flight on her recent hurdles debut at Doncaster.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (125/1 -89%) Blazing Court	125/1(-89%)	(2) Blazing Court 125/1, Showed only poor form in a pair of bumpers and fared no better on hurdles debut in November.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (3) (200/1 +0%) Freddy Boy	200/1(+0%)	(3) Freddy Boy 200/1, Very green when well held in a Huntingdon bumper in March, and having had a wind op, beaten a long way out when pulled up in novice at Hereford on hurdling debut in November.

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

14:10 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (4) (6/1 +8%) Netywell	6/1(+8%)	(4) Netywell 6/1, Promising novice hurdler last season but disappointed in 2 chases in November and fared little better back hurdling at Wetherby over Christmas. Has something to prove for now.
2 2nd (2) (2.5/1 +29%) Champ De Gane	2.5/1(+29%)	(2) Champ De Gane 2.5/1, Irish raider who was capable of fair form over hurdles but only made it to fifth fence (unseated rider) on Down Royal chase debut 14 days ago. Goes handicapping now.
3 3rd (5) (7/1 +56%) Duty Calls	7/1(+56%)	(5) Duty Calls 7/1, Dual point winner who opened his account under Rules at the eleventh attempt in a 17f handicap hurdle at Carlisle in February. Back to that sort of level when third of 12 in 21f Kelso handicap hurdle last time. Yet to convince over fences, though.
\|F\| \|F\| (3) (2.75/1 -22%) Paddy The Horse	2.75/1(-22%)	(3) Paddy The Horse 2.75/1, Won maiden and handicap hurdles at Hexham in the autumn. A point success at the start of his career provides hope that he'll take to fences. Respected.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (1) (2.75/1 -69%) Masked Crusader	2.75/1(-69%)	(1) Masked Crusader 2.75/1, Landed a pair of novice hurdles for this yard last season. Could only manage fourth on his Catterick chase debut but almost certainly would have won at Musselburgh since but for unseating at the last. Tends to only do the bare mimimum and could benefit from first-time cheekpieces.

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

14:30 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (9) (0.53/1 +0%) Afadil	0.53/1(+0%)	(9) Afadil 0.53/1, French Flat winner in June. Starts out over hurdles in a weak race and he ought to take a bit of stopping, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Has had wind surgery.
2 2nd (5) (9/1 +25%) Mammies Boy	9/1(+25%)	(5) Mammies Boy 9/1, 22/1, hinted at ability when 36 lengths eighth of 14 in 2m Hereford novice hurdle on debut 19 days ago. May do better.
3 3rd (3) (3.5/1 -27%) Danton	3.5/1(-27%)	(3) Danton 3.5/1, Showed ability when fifth of 14 in bumper at Exeter on debut in November, not ideally placed. Pulled up afer reportedly losing his action on Utoxeter hurdle debut. Retains potential and could be the one to give Afadil most to do.
4 4th (1) (22/1 +21%) Atlantic Fleet	22/1(+21%)	(1) Atlantic Fleet 22/1, €50,000 purchase who shaped better than the result when down the field on his Chepstow bumper debut, fading after making headway out wide early in the straight. Quickly switches to hurdles.
5th 5th (2) (28/1 -40%) Champagne Mesdames	28/1(-40%)	(2) Champagne Mesdames 28/1, No show in a bumper and 2 novice hurdles. Needs first-time blinkers to spark major improvement.
6th 6th (4) (10/1 +50%) Knowwhentorun	10/1(+50%)	(4) Knowwhentorun 10/1, Fair maiden on Flat but has run well below that level in 2 hurdles in recent months.
7th 7th (7) (25/1 +38%) Tellairsue	25/1(+38%)	(7) Tellairsue 25/1, In need of experience when well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle in recent months.
8th 8th (8) (50/1 +24%) Via Dante	50/1(+24%)	(8) Via Dante 50/1, Maiden pointer who is likely to need more time judged on what he showed in C&D novice (good to soft) on November's Rules debut.
9th 9th (6) (80/1 +20%) Russies Dream	80/1(+20%)	(6) Russies Dream 80/1, Little encouragement in a couple of bumpers and a C&D novice hurdle.

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

14:45 Ayr Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (2.5/1 -67%) Rocco Storm	2.5/1(-67%)	(1) Rocco Storm 2.5/1, Eased in weights and duly capitalised to land back-to-back handicaps at Hexham/Sedgefield in recent months. Good second from much-inflated mark at the latter venue (19.3f) last time and he has to be of interest again back down in trip.
2 2nd (4) (7.5/1 -15%) Coolmoyne	7.5/1(-15%)	(4) Coolmoyne 7.5/1, Best effort when third on second chase start at Hexham last spring. Hinted that he could be working his way back to form when fourth in a 10-runner Newcastle handicap (16.3f) a fortnight ago and each-way chance off 3 lb lower here if able to build on that.
3 3rd (5) (3.5/1 +42%) Broomfields Kan	3.5/1(+42%)	(5) Broomfields Kan 3.5/1, Back to his best when runner-up over 20.5f here last February and not disgraced on 2 of his next 3 starts. No impact on return at Wetherby but probably needed that following 8 months off and worth a second look with cheekpieces refitted.
4 4th (10) (22/1 +12%) Zihuatanejo	22/1(+12%)	(10) Zihuatanejo 22/1, Presumably fragile given his sporadic appearances and has shown little spark in 3 starts under Rules (all over hurdles). Possible that this former point winner will be seen in a better light now switched to fences but looks risky.
5th 5th (11) (12/1 -71%) Andre Le Notre	12/1(-71%)	(11) Andre Le Notre 12/1, Signs of ability on debut in a Musselburgh bumper last February but offered precious little in 3 subsequent starts over hurdles. Sizeable step forward needed now sent chasing.
6th 6th (9) (22/1 +0%) Roxyfet	22/1(+0%)	(9) Roxyfet 22/1, Veteran campaigner who capitalised on much-reduced mark to regain winning thread at Hexham last season, narrowly getting the better of re-opposing stablemate Bandit d'Ainay. Both subsequent efforts have been poor, though.
7th 7th (7) (10/1 +44%) Choix Des Armes	10/1(+44%)	(7) Choix Des Armes 10/1, Winning hurdler for Paul Nicholls in 2018 who came good over fences for this yard in a 2m Wetherby novice handicap last March. Not the most sure-footed of jumpers, though, and got no further than the first fence on recent reappearance at Newcastle.
8th 8th (8) (16/1 -14%) Bandit D'Ainay	16/1(-14%)	(8) Bandit D'Ainay 16/1, Four-time winner over fences in France and posted best effort on these shores to date when runner-up over a similar trip to this at Hexham last spring. However, has failed by some way to reproduce that form since and now tried in a tongue strap.
9th 9th (3) (16/1 -33%) Hollybank King	16/1(-33%)	(3) Hollybank King 16/1, Did pretty well last season, opening his Rules account in a Thurles handicap chase and runner-up on 3 occasions. Conversely, he hasn't shown much in 3 runs so far this time round and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (4.5/1 +36%) Ardera Cross	4.5/1(+36%)	(2) Ardera Cross 4.5/1, Won 2 on the bounce over C&D last winter, including this corresponding race, and returned to form when going close in a 20.5f handicap here in November. However, followed that with a rather tame display (again at this course) and he's opposable on balance.

15:00 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 19f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (10) (5.5/1 +8%) Forever William	5.5/1(+8%)	(10) Forever William 5.5/1, Won on Newbury hurdle debut last season and placed in Graded juvenile hurdles on his next 2 outings. Respectable efforts in handicaps at Chepstow (2m) and Cheltenham (21f) this time round and needs considering here off a reduced mark.
2 2nd (6) (6.5/1 +28%) American Sniper	6.5/1(+28%)	(6) American Sniper 6.5/1, Runner-up sole run in Irish point and has made a promising start under Rules, showing a good attitude when landing Chepstow maiden and a novice here in November. Shade disappointing under a double penalty over C&D last time, though, and more needed now handicapping.
3 3rd (5) (1.62/1 +41%) Sayadam	1.62/1(+41%)	(5) Sayadam 1.62/1, Kelso bumper winner who has done nothing wrong since switched to hurdles, making it 3-5 in this sphere when scoring on handicap debut at Fontwell (19.2f, soft) in November. 4 lb rise fair and he could have more to offer.
4 4th (1) (28/1 -75%) The Pink'n	28/1(-75%)	(1) The Pink'n 28/1, Pretty useful form in this sphere a couple of seasons back but failed to beat a rival home in an AW handicap on the Flat following an absence of almost 2 years at Lingfield last month. Others preferred.
5th 5th (9) (12/1 +40%) Quoi De Neuf	12/1(+40%)	(9) Quoi De Neuf 12/1, Aintree novice hurdle winner back in 2018 and opened chase account over 2¼m here last season. Poor on return in this sphere in November and while he fared better with cheekpieces enlisted returned to fences last time, others look more solid.
6th 6th (4) (3/1 -50%) Lady Adare	3/1(-50%)	(4) Lady Adare 3/1, Made all in a bumper for Micky Hammond and is 3-3 over hurdles, her opening win at Uttoxeter strong form, while she has completed a pair of straightforward tasks since (over C&D last time). Remains with potential now venturing into handicaps after 10 months off.
7th 7th (2) (18/1 +36%) Lieutenant Rocco	18/1(+36%)	(2) Lieutenant Rocco 18/1, Dual winner of novice hurdles during 2019/20 campaign and made up into a useful chaser the following season. However, he offered little in 2 starts for Harriet Brown last term and hasn't fared much better so far this season. Hood applied.
8th 8th (7) (12/1 +14%) Yes No Maybe So	12/1(+14%)	(7) Yes No Maybe So 12/1, Won 4 handicap hurdles on the bounce upon joining this yard in 2020. Very lightly raced since but proved he retains all his ability following 18 months off when third at Kempton (2m) and this step back up in trip looks a good move.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (16/1 -100%) Throne Hall	16/1(-100%)	(8) Throne Hall 16/1, Useful on the Flat and winner of first 2 starts over hurdles. However, soft ground appeared to be against him when beaten a fair way at Kempton last time and similar conditions forecast here.

15:20 Ayr Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (2) (2.5/1 +58%) Fia Fuinidh	2.5/1(+58%)	(2) Fia Fuinidh 2.5/1, Placed on the second of 2 outings in Irish points and showed improved form over hurdles when third of 14 in a 2m Ayr maiden last month. Unexposed now switching to handicaps.
2 2nd (8) (6/1 +73%) Eden Mill	6/1(+73%)	(8) Eden Mill 6/1, Only poor form in bumpers/over hurdles, including 2½m Newcastle handicap debut on Boxing Day.
3 3rd (3) (2.75/1 +17%) Hashtag Lord	2.75/1(+17%)	(3) Hashtag Lord 2.75/1, Placed in maiden hurdles at Newcastle in recent months, albeit beaten a fair way. His opening mark isn't obviously generous based on those efforts but he has Brian Hughes up and the stable won the race last year.
4 4th (6) (25/1 +0%) Kinnegad Lad	25/1(+0%)	(6) Kinnegad Lad 25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Down the field at Down Royal when last seen in November and this Irish raider is hard to make a good case for.
5th 5th (7) (6.5/1 -63%) Agilulf	6.5/1(-63%)	(7) Agilulf 6.5/1, Fair maiden at best on Flat. Third in a pair of 2m Catterick juveniles in November and interesting now making a quick switch to handicap company.
6th 6th (4) (5/1 +58%) Fathers Advice	5/1(+58%)	(4) Fathers Advice 5/1, Still looking for first success and isn't obviously closing in on it based on his recent efforts. Has a tongue tie refitted back from a short break. Yard has been quiet but did have a few run well here last week.
7th 7th (9) (33/1 +0%) Tarquin Stardust	33/1(+0%)	(9) Tarquin Stardust 33/1, Shaped as if better for the run in a Wetherby bumper on debut in February but has shown little in 3 maiden/novice hurdles since. Tongue tie added now. Clearly more chance now handicapping at a low level but would need to see market support to consider.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (5) (11/1 +39%) Fortcanyon	11/1(+39%)	(5) Fortcanyon 11/1, Ran to fair level when fourth in Newcastle maiden last December but he's failed to make an impact in 3 subsequent starts (all at Kelso). Others are more obvious.

15:35 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (8) (8/1 -7%) Sawpit Sienna	8/1(-7%)	(8) Sawpit Sienna 8/1, Gained Second success at Fakenham (both 2½m) when seeing off 5 rivals in a mares' handicap in October. Came up short from inflated mark when fourth back at that venue last time but she's no forlorn hope in an open-looking handicap.
2 2nd (9) (4/1 -14%) Never No Trouble	4/1(-14%)	(9) Never No Trouble 4/1, Placed 3 times from 9 appearances on the Flat for Adrian Nicholls and, in receipt of her handy weight-for-age allowance, she again ran well when second at Leicester (15.5f) in November. Well in the mix back from 56 days off.
3 3rd (10) (4/1 +38%) My Granny Lily	4/1(+38%)	(10) My Granny Lily 4/1, Showed first form when third on handicap debut at Ludlow (21.2f) in November. Couldn't quite match that when fourth at Ffos Las (15.8f) 18 days ago but cheekpieces go on now and it does remain early days at least.
4 4th (2) (33/1 -18%) Kentford Mallard	33/1(-18%)	(2) Kentford Mallard 33/1, Held her form well in the spring/summer last year and overcame a few wayward leaps to score at Southwell (3m) in June. Swerved and unseated first on return at Exeter (18.5f) on New Year's Day and cheekpieces go back on now.
5th 5th (7) (10/1 -43%) Born To Please	10/1(-43%)	(7) Born To Please 10/1, Well beaten on each of her last 4 starts on the level but exploits over hurdles either side have been more like it, runner-up in a mares' handicap at Leicester (15.5f) 39 days ago. Needs to back that up now.
6th 6th (1) (2.25/1 +25%) Tintern Abbey	2.25/1(+25%)	(1) Tintern Abbey 2.25/1, Bumper winner and bright start over hurdles, cementing positive start when fourth in 10-runner mares' maiden at Wincanton (15.2f) in November. One to consider with progress anticipated now handicapping.
7th 7th (3) (14/1 +0%) Fortune Cookie	14/1(+0%)	(3) Fortune Cookie 14/1, Has yet to show much in handful of starts but can have latest yard debut effort at Hereford (21.7f) overlooked, all but coming down at the sixth and pulled up soon after. This should reveal more.
8th 8th (5) (80/1 -60%) Mrs Kinsella	80/1(-60%)	(5) Mrs Kinsella 80/1, Modest ex-Irish maiden hurdler who showed nothing returning from 8 months off for new yard at Fontwell (17.7f) in December. Eased 5 lb ahead of this and now equipped with a first-time tongue tie.
9th 9th (6) (14/1 +22%) Hello Bob	14/1(+22%)	(6) Hello Bob 14/1, Uttoxeter winner back in summer 2020 who shaped as if retaining all ability after 18 months off when fifth at Ffos Las in May but has gone backwards from that in his 2 outings since.
10th 10th (11) (66/1 +56%) Lady Ironside	66/1(+56%)	(11) Lady Ironside 66/1, Fair maiden on Flat in Ireland but has yet to show any ability in this sphere, including on handicap debut at Exeter (21.6f) in November. Much more needed.
11th 11th (4) (7.5/1 -67%) Eventful	7.5/1(-67%)	(4) Eventful 7.5/1, Maiden on Flat but she was well supported when doubling her tally over hurdles (in refitted blinkers) at Southwell (15.8f) in November. Absent since but gone well after a break before and not out of things.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (6) (4.5/1 -64%) Esprit Du Potier	4.5/1(-64%)	(6) Esprit Du Potier 4.5/1, Montmartre gelding. Offered something to work on when second in 6-runner C&D bumper on debut 6 weeks ago, under pressure early but sticking well to his task.
2 2nd (1) (8/1 -129%) Chance The Robin	8/1(-129%)	(1) Chance The Robin 8/1, £31,000 4-y-o, Robin Des Champs gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to high-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Snoopy Loopy and useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Sam Adams. Runner-up sole start in points (Dec 2021). Interesting Rules debutant.
3 3rd (2) (0.91/1 +60%) Isenay	0.91/1(+60%)	(2) Isenay 0.91/1, €30,000 3-y-o, Cokoriko gelding. Friendless in betting but definite promise to glean from his fifth in 15-runner Punchestown bumper on NH debut back in April. Very much the type to do better and well worth a second look.
4 4th (3) (3.5/1 +0%) Lucky Soldier	3.5/1(+0%)	(3) Lucky Soldier 3.5/1, £42,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Ridden patiently but noted strong at the finish when runner-up in a C&D bumper on debut in October. A repeat should see him thereabouts.
5th 5th (5) (14/1 +22%) Lunar Glow	14/1(+22%)	(5) Lunar Glow 14/1, Pether's Moon mare who has stamina in her pedigree and has shaped in kind without posing a win threat in a couple of bumpers at up to 17f this winter. May do better when tackling further over hurdles.
6th 6th (4) (28/1 +15%) Bollin Matilda	28/1(+15%)	(4) Bollin Matilda 28/1, Yorgunnabelucky mare. Dam (h81), 2½m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stays 19f) Multellie. Likely best watched on debut.

3 3rd (1) (18/1 +36%) Drop Flight	18/1(+36%)	(1) Drop Flight 18/1, Fair winning chaser in France. Absent for 13 months ahead of this hunter debut for new connections. Could play a part if ready to roll.
4 4th (6) (12/1 -41%) Another Venture	12/1(-41%)	(6) Another Venture 12/1, Second in a Ludlow hunter for Nicky Henderson last January. Disappointed in 2 subsequent starts last season and has changed stables ahead of this reappearance.
5th 5th (4) (25/1 -127%) Wotzizname	25/1(-127%)	(4) Wotzizname 25/1, Useful hurdler/chaser at his peak. Won then second in hunters at Newton Abbot back in May. Claims if ready to roll after 7 months off.
6th 6th (3) (8/1 -23%) My Way	8/1(-23%)	(3) My Way 8/1, Useful winning chaser for Paul Nicholls in 2020/21 season. Fit from a point run last month (finished third). Major player.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (8) (2.25/1 +44%) Tout Est Permis	2.25/1(+44%)	(8) Tout Est Permis 2.25/1, Smart chaser in prime. Nothing like so good lately (left Noel Meade after finishing well held over hurdles in July) but he's joined a good stable and this is an easier assignment. Needs considering.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (14/1 -133%) Mitchouka	14/1(-133%)	(2) Mitchouka 14/1, Very useful in his prime. Below form for Jim Dreaper when last seen in the spring but no surprise were he capable of making an impact at this level.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (7) (150/1 -50%) Jimmy Tew	150/1(-50%)	(7) Jimmy Tew 150/1, Long-standing maiden pointer and pulled up in 2 hunters back in 2021. Big outsider.

8th 8th (7) (5/1 -25%) Miss Calculation	5/1(-25%)	(7) Miss Calculation 5/1, Seventeen runs since her last win in 2021 but she's hinted at a revival of late, not enjoying a clear run when fourth of 11 to Cailin Saoirse in handicap at this C&D 44 days ago. Weighted to go well off a reduced mark.
9th 9th (3) (50/1 +0%) Rajmeister	50/1(+0%)	(3) Rajmeister 50/1, 33/1, first run since leaving Tom Clover when ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 12 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
