Races & Results Tuesday 7th February 2023
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Barrier Peaks 2.5/1, Much-improved since switched to handicaps, off the mark when getting the better of a bang in-form rival, who has won since, at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) last month. Followed up at Uttoxeter (2½m, soft) recently and a 10 lb rise probably won't be enough to stop him here.
2
2nd (3) (7.5/1 -36%) Lone Star
7.5/1(-36%)
(3) Lone Star 7.5/1, Failed to build on good Hexham second in September when a disappointing fourth over 23f here next time. However, got back on track returned to this trip when opening her account at Newcastle (soft) on Boxing Day, and possibilites up 7 lb with Joe Williamson again in the saddle.
3
3rd (4) (4.5/1 +18%) Dancingontheedge
4.5/1(+18%)
(4) Dancingontheedge 4.5/1, Clear-cut, all-the-way winner of a 2m Worcester bumper on debut last spring. Yet to trouble the judge in this sphere, failing to improve when only seventh of 15 on handicap bow at Taunton (19f, good to soft) last time, but she's in good hands and certainly isn't one to write off just yet.
4
4th (2) (2.5/1 +29%) Calidad
2.5/1(+29%)
(2) Calidad 2.5/1, Things didn't go to plan over fences but improved back hurdling when a clear second at Hereford (19.7f, soft) last month. That was his handicap debut in this sphere and, still feasibly treated following a 4 lb rise, he has to enter calculations.
5th
5th (5) (40/1 -186%) Mr Palmtree
40/1(-186%)
(5) Mr Palmtree 40/1, Improved model over fences during 2020/21 campaign, winning twice and decent third in a 25f Wincanton handicap chase when last seen. However, that was almost 2 years ago and while he resumes in this sphere on an attractive mark, he hasn't shown much in 3 previous starts over hurdles.
6th
6th (6) (6.5/1 +13%) Escobedo
6.5/1(+13%)
(6) Escobedo 6.5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and duly stepped up on initial efforts over hurdles when third on handicap debut in this sphere at Wincanton (15.2f, good to soft) in November. Now 2 lb lower and could have a part to play if improving for this step up in trip (shapes as though he'll stay).
|PU|
|PU| (7) (11/1 +45%) Kimberley Eve
11/1(+45%)
(7) Kimberley Eve 11/1, Placed on 3 of her 4 starts in bumpers but she hasn't shown anything in as many appearances over hurdles, pulled up on handicap debut at Hereford last time. Hopes pinned on the fitting of cheekpieces sparking an uplift.
|PU|
|PU| (8) (150/1 -127%) L'es Fremantle
150/1(-127%)
(8) L'es Fremantle 150/1, Very poor strike rate and another struggle is on the cards from 8 lb out of the handicap here.
(1) Hugos New Horse 1.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who completed hat-trick in 14-runner novice at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) 37 days ago, again impressing with his attitude. More to come now stepping up in trip and has strong claims.
2
2nd (5) (1.2/1 +26%) Tightenourbelts
1.2/1(+26%)
(5) Tightenourbelts 1.2/1, Mahler gelding and built on an encouraging hurdling debut when beaten only by a useful prospect at Taunton (19f) 39 days ago, clear of rest. Open to further improvement.
3
3rd (4) (7/1 +22%) Pearly Island
7/1(+22%)
(4) Pearly Island 7/1, Got right back on track when readily opening his account in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f) 16 days ago. Has more on his plate back in a novice, though.
4
4th (3) (11/1 -57%) Peace Of Rome
11/1(-57%)
(3) Peace Of Rome 11/1, Fair in bumpers and shaped encouragingly sent hurdling when third in 11-runer maiden at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 49 days ago, barely adequate test. Open to improvement.
5th
5th (2) (50/1 -178%) Cedar Row
50/1(-178%)
(2) Cedar Row 50/1, Successful on second of 2 starts in point bumpers and shaped with some encouragement being being pulled up in a novice hurdle at Carlisle on Rules debut back in October. Should do better in time.
LTO Selection:
13:45 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(1) Holetown Hero 1.38/1, Progressive in bumpers and also going the right way over hurdles, opening his account with something in hand in maiden here (16.5f) last time. Step back up in trip shouldn't pose a problem and he can defy a penalty.
2
2nd (3) (3.33/1 +39%) Bold Reaction
3.33/1(+39%)
(3) Bold Reaction 3.33/1, Irish point scorer who won the second of 2 bumper starts. Made a sound start to his hurdle career when 17 lengths third in a Sandown maiden on his reappearance but proved a disappointment when behind Holetown Hero here last time. Has since had a breathing op.
3
3rd (9) (100/1 -400%) Mikhailovich
100/1(-400%)
(9) Mikhailovich 100/1, Ran to a fair level when third at Chepstow only start in bumpers but has shown little both starts over hurdles.
4
4th (4) (4/1 -14%) Future Investment
4/1(-14%)
(4) Future Investment 4/1, Useful staying handicapper on Flat and ran best race over hurdles when beaten only by a useful prospect in a Chepstow novice in December. Not in anything like the same form at Cheltenham last time but big player if bouncing back.
5th
5th (2) (33/1 -65%) Bertie Wooster
33/1(-65%)
(2) Bertie Wooster 33/1, Showed more than on hurdling debut when fourth of 12 in a C&D novice (soft, 16/1) 29 days ago. Should have more to offer given his pedigree but he's probably going to be of more interest in handicaps after this.
6th
6th (10) (4/1 +60%) Nollyador
4/1(+60%)
(10) Nollyador 4/1, Well-made gelding who was progressive in bumpers. Better than result suggests on Aintree hurdles debut/reappearance on the back of a breathing op but proved a disappointment in a first-time tongue strap at Doncaster last time. Bit to prove now.
7th
7th (6) (125/1 +0%) He's My Shadow
125/1(+0%)
(6) He's My Shadow 125/1, Placed in points and showed something to work on when third in a bumper at Exeter on Rules debut. Failed to repeat that effort at Chepstow, however.
8th
8th (8) (100/1 -150%) King's Castle
100/1(-150%)
(8) King's Castle 100/1, Fair performer on the Flat (stays 1¾m) but ran below that level sent hurdling when well held here 29 days ago.
9th
9th (11) (33/1 -32%) Talimar Pearl
33/1(-32%)
(11) Talimar Pearl 33/1, Finished last when an even-money shot in his only point but has shaped better than the bare result both starts over hurdles and will be one to keep an eye on in handicaps after this run.
10th
10th (12) (28/1 -133%) Urban Soldier
28/1(-133%)
(12) Urban Soldier 28/1, Well held on his sole outing in bumpers but more like it sent hurdling when second of 7 in a C&D novice in November. Ran to only a similar level when fifth in a warmer race back here last time, though.
11th
11th (5) (250/1 -100%) Getaway Tothe Wood
250/1(-100%)
(5) Getaway Tothe Wood 250/1, Getaway gelding. Dam, ran once in bumper, sister to bumper winner/fair hurdler (stays 21f) Benny In Milan.
|PU|
|PU| (7) (100/1 -52%) Katopop
100/1(-52%)
(7) Katopop 100/1, £36,000 3-y-o, Yeats gelding. Brother to bumper winner Don't Tell David. Dam, point winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Real Milan. Runner-up completed start in points, fell last time (Jan 1). Market for clues.
LTO Selection:
14:00 Taunton Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Patient Dream 5.5/1, Useful on the Flat but little better than fair form over hurdles to date, including comfortably held in 2 handicaps since joining this yard. Certainly too soon to write off in this sphere but he needs first-time cheekpieces to give him a lift.
2
2nd (2) (7.5/1 +17%) Captain Jack
7.5/1(+17%)
(2) Captain Jack 7.5/1, Maiden and lightly raced in recent times. Beaten 19 lengths when third in C&D selling handicap on Boxing Day. Will need to step up on that form to go close here but the booking of Brian Hughes takes the eye. Also sports first-time cheekpieces.
3
3rd (4) (3/1 -9%) Take Centre Stage
3/1(-9%)
(4) Take Centre Stage 3/1, Left a disappointing handicap debut at Wetherby on Boxing Day behind when 8 lengths third of 14 over 2m at Kelso 23 days ago. Remains relatively unexposed and on the shortlist here.
3
3rd (9) (9/1 +0%) Lightening Gesture
9/1(+0%)
(9) Lightening Gesture 9/1, Fair Flat winner. Beaten a long way when reaching the frame in 2 juvenile hurdles for this yard in December but rates a possible improver now making a quick switch to handicaps.
5th
5th (8) (10/1 +38%) Watchoutitscookie
10/1(+38%)
(8) Watchoutitscookie 10/1, Has yet to achieve anything of worth, beaten 29 lengths when seventh of 14 on his 2m Ffos Las handicap debut in December. A first-time hood needs to spark improvement.
6th
6th (6) (14/1 -65%) Asa
14/1(-65%)
(6) Asa 14/1, Third on sole run in France last June. Backed that up when second in 2m Leicester juvenile in November (only run for Richard Hobson). Could only manage a well-held fourth of 11 on 2m Hereford handicap debut for this stable but claims on her earlier efforts.
7th
7th (1) (2/1 +11%) Lipa K
2/1(+11%)
(1) Lipa K 2/1, Bumper winner in Ireland last May. Best run over hurdles for new stable when sixth of 13 in 2m Leicester novice just after Christmas, keeping on from off the pace. Likely improver in handicaps.
|F|
|F| (5) (40/1 -21%) Clean Getaway
40/1(-21%)
(5) Clean Getaway 40/1, Failed to make an impact in 4 starts for Nicky Henderson and no signs of improvement as yet for current connections. First outing for 5 months. Could only consider if the betting vibes strongly suggest better is expected.
(2) River Bray 40/1, Took advantage of reduced mark to score at Wincanton last spring but not in same form back at that venue a month later and he ran no sort of race back from 9 months off at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) just before Christmas.
2
2nd (5) (4.5/1 +25%) Amelia's Dance
4.5/1(+25%)
(5) Amelia's Dance 4.5/1, Enhanced good record over this C&D in December, clearing away to score by 7 lengths (third win in 12 months here). Turned in a rare below par display (may have come too soon) at Newbury 10 days later and no surprise to see a better showing now.
3
3rd (8) (25/1 -39%) Cup Of Coffee
25/1(-39%)
(8) Cup Of Coffee 25/1, Comfortably landed a 2m Hexham handicap hurdle in March and shaped as if as good as ever after 7 months off at Fakenham (took a heavy tumble late on). Well beaten at Ludlow just 15 days later though and given a break.
4
4th (10) (12/1 -33%) Sergeant
12/1(-33%)
(10) Sergeant 12/1, Won a 2m Stratford handicap hurdle in September and went very close to another success at Huntingdon in November. Shaped as if still in good form at Wincanton 10 weeks ago.
5th
5th (11) (28/1 +44%) The Rain King
28/1(+44%)
(11) The Rain King 28/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 8.5f) and showed a bit more on third run over hurdles here in December. No show on subsequent handicap debut at Wincanton, however. Hard to fancy.
6th
6th (7) (5.5/1 +31%) Saligo Bay
5.5/1(+31%)
(7) Saligo Bay 5.5/1, Awarded 2m Lingfield handicap hurdle in November and fair run in deeper Plumpton contest at the turn of the year that has worked out. Wouldn't dismiss.
7th
7th (1) (25/1 +62%) Perfect Myth
25/1(+62%)
(1) Perfect Myth 25/1, Won 3 times for Neil King in 2020/21 campaign but not shown much for a while, including back over hurdles the last twice. Down in grade.
8th
8th (6) (1.1/1 -33%) Half Dozen
1.1/1(-33%)
(6) Half Dozen 1.1/1, Improved to make successful handicap debut in extended 2m novice event at Hereford last week, cosily in a first-time tongue tie. More to come and big shout under a penalty.
9th
9th (4) (7/1 -8%) Give Me A Cuddle
7/1(-8%)
(4) Give Me A Cuddle 7/1, Going the right way and was all the better for first run in 6 months when taking 19.4f Doncaster handicap hurdle under this rider 10 days ago, not fully settling but showing by far the best change of gear in a steadily-run race. Can go well again up 5 lb now fitted with hood.
10th
10th (3) (40/1 -21%) Across The Line
40/1(-21%)
(3) Across The Line 40/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser for Dan Skelton. Won a Stratford hunter chase for this yard in May but has found life harder in handicap company since, including back over hurdles the last twice.
LTO Selection:
14:30 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(6) Shighness 2/1, Improved for the switch to handicaps when winning 5-runner event over C&D (heavy) in November, suited by emphasis on stamina. Ran to a similar level off a 6 lb higher mark when fourth at Haydock since and ought to be on the premises again.
2
2nd (7) (3.5/1 +42%) Halifax
3.5/1(+42%)
(7) Halifax 3.5/1, Maiden who shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (24.4f, good to soft) 81 days ago, though found little. First run for yard after leaving Jonjo O'Neill.
3
3rd (1) (5/1 +0%) Here Comes Mccoy
5/1(+0%)
(1) Here Comes Mccoy 5/1, Dual novice hurdle winner who made an inauspicious start over fences after 21 months off at Warwick 38 days ago, trying to refuse at the first and unseating his rider. Back over hurdles now and hard to know what to expect.
4
4th (5) (3.6/1 -31%) Republican
3.6/1(-31%)
(5) Republican 3.6/1, Winless since 2019 but has fallen in the weights and stepped up on her comeback run in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 13 in 3m handicap at Taunton 39 days ago, despite a sketchy round of jumping. Player down in grade.
5th
5th (3) (10/1 +9%) Fakir
10/1(+9%)
(3) Fakir 10/1, Back on track when landing a 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, good) on debut for this yard in September. Has gone the wrong way since though, so others preferred for all he returns to this sphere on an attractive mark.
|PU|
|PU| (4) (12/1 -9%) Betty's Banjo
12/1(-9%)
(4) Betty's Banjo 12/1, Won sole outing in Irish points and left hurdling debut form behind when landing a mares novice at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in May. However, after 4 months off made a discouraging handicap debut at Exeter in November. Bounce back called for.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (25/1 -108%) Cavallino
25/1(-108%)
(2) Cavallino 25/1, Hurdle winner/fairly maiden chaser for Willie Mullins in Ireland but was well held in a first-time tongue strap (also had breathing op) on first start for this yard at Chepstow in December. Needs to leave that behind in refitted blinkers.
(3) Dead Right 14/1, Lightly-raced 11-y-o who was sharper for return when going close at Market Rasen (21.4f, good) in September, hampered 4 out but keeping on to go down narrowly. Perhaps needed the run back from a 3-month break at Doncaster and now tried in cheekpieces.
2
2nd (4) (3/1 +10%) Neon Moon
3/1(+10%)
(4) Neon Moon 3/1, Progressive over hurdles last season, winning 3 times, and solid start to chasing when fifth in a handicap at Exeter in November. Early faller on first run following a wind op at Wincanton recently but remains unexposed in this sphere and big chance granted a clear round here.
3
3rd (2) (3.33/1 -33%) Frenchy Du Large
3.33/1(-33%)
(2) Frenchy Du Large 3.33/1, Won back-to-back 2½m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Chepstow around the turn of last year. However, added to a disconcerting completion race over fences when falling on return and jumping was again far from foot perfect when only fourth at Ludlow.
4
4th (5) (2.12/1 +6%) Milan Bridge
2.12/1(+6%)
(5) Milan Bridge 2.12/1, Reached a fairly useful level in landing 3 of his 5 starts over hurdles and walked over on intended chase debut at Ascot in November. Sported first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when brought down before the race started to take shape at Wincanton on Boxing Day and he remains of interest.
5th
5th (1) (3.5/1 +13%) Le Cameleon
3.5/1(+13%)
(1) Le Cameleon 3.5/1, Successful twice in the second half of last season and made a winning reappearance at Warwick (2½m, good) in October. Latest effort was poor but capable of a bold show in this less competitive affair off a 2 lb lower mark.
LTO Selection:
15:00 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(1) African Dance 11/1, Hurdles winner at Plumpton a couple of years ago and perfect start over fences when landing a 9-runner Ayr handicap (20.5f, good to soft) on sole start last season. Wellbeing has to be taken on trust following 14 months off but resumes on the same mark and this trip should within his range.
2
2nd (2) (2/1 -14%) Geryville
2/1(-14%)
(2) Geryville 2/1, Scored twice last season and, though below par first 2 starts this time round, he took a step firmly back in the right direction when runner-up here (27.6f, good to soft) following a wind op on Boxing Day. 3 lb rise fair and another bold show on the cards.
3
3rd (6) (2/1 +43%) Jessie Lightfoot
2/1(+43%)
(6) Jessie Lightfoot 2/1, Left John Groucott and returned to form when landing a 6-runner Southwell handicap (25.8f, good to soft) on yard debut in December. Premature exit wasn't her fault last time, though had been jumping sketchy prior to that and she will probably find one or two too good here.
4
4th (4) (3.33/1 +5%) Jaytee
3.33/1(+5%)
(4) Jaytee 3.33/1, Built on chase debut promise when landing a Taunton handicap last spring and hasn't done much wrong in 3 subsequent starts, finding just one too strong back in this sphere at Southwell (25.8f, good) recently. Likely to give another good account off the same mark.
5th
5th (3) (10/1 +9%) Gwencily Berbas
10/1(+9%)
(3) Gwencily Berbas 10/1, Bagged an Exeter marathon off 7 lb higher last winter but ended that campaign on a low-key note. Hasn't returned in particularly good form this season and while he's dangerous to completely discount off this reduced mark, others make more appeal for win purposes.
6th
6th (5) (18/1 +10%) Diomede Des Mottes
18/1(+10%)
(5) Diomede Des Mottes 18/1, Runner-up in a beginners' chase at Hereford in November 2020 but little to shout about since, failing to complete on 4 of his 6 subsequent appearances (over hurdles and fences). Hopes pinned on the first-time blinkers sparking a revival.
(4) Parikarma 6.5/1, Notched third success on the Flat in a Brighton handicap in October and fared best of those held up when fourth in a big-field Lingfield novice (2m, good to soft) on hurdles debut. That experience won't be wasted on her and she should pick up a race in this sphere before long.
2
2nd (1) (0.83/1 +31%) Hidden Beauty
0.83/1(+31%)
(1) Hidden Beauty 0.83/1, Ffos Las bumper winner who made it third time lucky over hurdles when landing a big-field Doncaster novice (16.6f, soft) in decisive fashion last month, proving 4¼ lengths lengths too strong for the re-opposing Passing Reflection (5 lb pull). The one to beat.
3
3rd (7) (6.5/1 -8%) Inspiratrice
6.5/1(-8%)
(7) Inspiratrice 6.5/1, Left her previous efforts well behind when causing a huge shock (200/1) by landing a C&D juvenile event at the end of December. In the process of backing that effort up when all but brought down 2 out at Doncaster recently (eventually unseated) and her 4-y-o allowance makes things interesting.
4
4th (5) (2.5/1 -25%) Passing Reflection
2.5/1(-25%)
(5) Passing Reflection 2.5/1, Failed to build on bumper debut promise when mid-field at Warwick in November (too free in the first-time hood). Again took a strong hold when chasing home Hidden Beauty on first run over hurdles at Doncaster and will need to settle better if she's to turn the tables on that rival here.
5th
5th (3) (33/1 -18%) Faerie Cutlass
33/1(-18%)
(3) Faerie Cutlass 33/1, Showed a bit when midfield in a 16-runner Warwick bumper on debut in November and likewise on hurdling bow here (19f, soft) last month. Likely to do better in time but shapes like a stayer, so this drop in trip is of dubious benefit.
6th
6th (6) (125/1 -89%) Sawpit Samantha
125/1(-89%)
(6) Sawpit Samantha 125/1, Debut effort in a bumper wasn't completely devoid of encouragement but there were very few positives to take from her subsequent hurdles bow at Sedgefield.
7th
7th (2) (150/1 -127%) Blue Anchor
150/1(-127%)
(2) Blue Anchor 150/1, Beaten a long way on debut in a Warwick bumper and subsequently pulled up starting out over hurdles at Wincanton. Now tried in a hood.
LTO Selection:
15:30 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Alfie's Princess 16/1, £220,000 5-y-o, Shirocco mare. Won sole start in Irish points (Mar 13) and couldn't quite justify market confidence starting out at listed level at Huntingdon in December. Clearly has plenty of ability and should improve.
1
1st (3) (3/1 +14%) Dysart Enos
3/1(+14%)
(3) Dysart Enos 3/1, £95,000 4-y-o, Malinas filly. Runner-up sole outing in Irish points (Mar 20) and looked a good prospect on Rules debut when winning 15-runner bumper (9/2) at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) in November, soon sealing matters despite still lacking a bit of know-how. Player.
2
2nd (1) (0.73/1 -9%) Queens Gamble
0.73/1(-9%)
(1) Queens Gamble 0.73/1, Has looked a class act in winning both her starts to date at Cheltenham, forging clear to score easily at this level in November. Could take high rank in this division and can defy a penalty here.
3
3rd (6) (8.5/1 +47%) Take No Chances
8.5/1(+47%)
(6) Take No Chances 8.5/1, €20,000 3-y-o, £95,000 4-y-o, Milan filly. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt and duly showed plenty of ability when second to good prospect in bumper at Exeter (16.7f, soft) in December. Entitled to improve.
4
4th (10) (28/1 +0%) Flying Fortune
28/1(+0%)
(10) Flying Fortune 28/1, Soldier of Fortune filly. Dam (b118), unbeaten in bumpers, also smart 1½m winner on Flat. Encouraging start behind Inion Tiogair in Ludlow bumper (15/2) in January, faring best of those held up. Should do better.
5th
5th (9) (16/1 +11%) Daytona Beach
16/1(+11%)
(9) Daytona Beach 16/1, 13,000 gns 3-y-o, Dubawi filly. Sister to 2 winners, including fairly useful 2m/19f hurdle winner Clear White Light. Dam 7f/1m winner. Pitched in at the deep end on debut but one to note in the betting with Brian Hughes booked.
6th
6th (5) (8.5/1 +6%) Mellificent
8.5/1(+6%)
(5) Mellificent 8.5/1, Promising second in Fairyhouse bumper in April for Lorna Fowler. Bought for €150,000 subsequently and created an excellent impression for new connections when running out a stylish winner of Uttoxeter bumper in October. Should go well.
7th
7th (7) (22/1 +0%) Tipperary Star
22/1(+0%)
(7) Tipperary Star 22/1, Has made a decent start in bumpers but surprising if she can open her account at this level taking on some promising winners.
8th
8th (11) (125/1 -25%) Woogrey
125/1(-25%)
(11) Woogrey 125/1, New Bay filly. Dam 9.2f winner. Showed some ability when third of 9 in bumper (22/1) at Newcastle (16.2f, standard) on debut last month but plenty more needed here.
(4) Gabriel's Getaway 6/1, Promise in bumpers/3 races over hurdles and interesting now quickly switched to chasing for handicap debut.
2
2nd (2) (3.33/1 +26%) Imperial Joe
3.33/1(+26%)
(2) Imperial Joe 3.33/1, Successful start over fences at Newton Abbot in May and back to form when third at Exeter on New Year's Day. Wouldn't dismiss.
3
3rd (8) (8/1 +33%) School For Scandal
8/1(+33%)
(8) School For Scandal 8/1, Improved when close second in similar contest at Hereford (2m) in November and excuses at Warwick next time. Bled back at first-named track 3 weeks ago, though. Hood now goes on.
4
4th (9) (66/1 -32%) Estate Italiana
66/1(-32%)
(9) Estate Italiana 66/1, Remains with little form, unseating eighth in race won by Letsbe Avenue here 7 weeks ago.
5th
5th (1) (10/1 -100%) Folly Gate
10/1(-100%)
(1) Folly Gate 10/1, Set to win when unseating amateur last here in December (race went to Letsbe Avenue). Again let down by jumping at Hereford 22 days ago and temperament increasingly coming under suspicion, but usual rider replaced by professional today and could be worth one more chance.
6th
6th (5) (10/1 -25%) Urabamba
10/1(-25%)
(5) Urabamba 10/1, Winner of 2m Wexford maiden hurdle for Henry de Bromhead in summer 2021 and has shown aptitude for this game the last twice, held behind Letsbe Avenue here 7 weeks ago.
7th
7th (10) (12/1 +52%) My Rockstar
12/1(+52%)
(10) My Rockstar 12/1, Went with a glimmer of promise sent chasing on return here 7 weeks ago though still ended up achieving very little.
8th
8th (7) (8/1 -23%) Flash Gorcombe
8/1(-23%)
(7) Flash Gorcombe 8/1, Offered something to work on sent chasing for his handicap debut at Exeter (19.2f) on New Year's Day, clear ability evident in his matching strides with the winner until early in the home straight. Dropped 4 lb and interesting.
9th
9th (3) (6/1 +50%) Ambion Hill
6/1(+50%)
(3) Ambion Hill 6/1, Remains without a win (often a weak finisher) and dropped away tamely on return at Exeter last month. Down another 4 lb but others preferred.
|U|
|U| (6) (6/1 -118%) Letsbe Avenue
6/1(-118%)
(6) Letsbe Avenue 6/1, Quickly off the mark over jumps for new yard in C&D handicap hurdle 7 weeks ago, left in contention last with Folly Gate's exit and pushed on by loose horse to lead late. Must back that up now raised 3 lb.
LTO Selection:
16:00 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(6) Ribeye 5.5/1, Improved when stepped up to 3m last season, winning handicap hurdle at Newcastle in April. Well held next 3 starts, but took a step back in the right direction when fourth on 19f Catterick chase debut 13 days ago. Respected now stepping back up in trip.
2
2nd (4) (2/1 +11%) Beat The Edge
2/1(+11%)
(4) Beat The Edge 2/1, Placed in handicap chases at up to 25f on his last 3 outings. May have found 19f at Sedgefield a little on the sharp side last time and taken to get off the mark now stepping back up in trip.
3
3rd (1) (8.5/1 -6%) Jack Doyen
8.5/1(-6%)
(1) Jack Doyen 8.5/1, Placed in points but no better than mid-field in maiden/novice hurdles and well beaten in 2 handicaps switched to fences in recent weeks.
4
4th (7) (3/1 +25%) Sir Apollo
3/1(+25%)
(7) Sir Apollo 3/1, Off the mark in 27f Sedgefield handicap chase in November but hasn't kicked on from that, fading into fourth back at Sedgefield last month.
5th
5th (5) (3.5/1 +13%) Sindabella
3.5/1(+13%)
(5) Sindabella 3.5/1, Modest hurdler who ran one of her best races when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.5f) in November. In the process of running well when rider took the wrong course turning for home at Leicester since. Player if taking to fences at first time of asking.
6th
6th (3) (40/1 +0%) Williamdeconqueror
40/1(+0%)
(3) Williamdeconqueror 40/1, Modest form at best over hurdles in 2020/21 season. Can only really watch now switching to fences after 684 days on the sidelines.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (14/1 -17%) Uranus Des Bordes
14/1(-17%)
(2) Uranus Des Bordes 14/1, Encouragement first time out when runner-up in novice hurdle at Huntingdon but largely disappointing since, failing to build on Ludlow handicap chase fourth in novice when pulled up at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve.
(3) Blue Bikini 20/1, Won maiden on second start for this yard at Plumpton in November 2021 but very lightly raced since. Well beaten on handicap debut at Newton Abbot back in May. Still early days but perhaps best watched unless the betting hints otherwise.
2
2nd (1) (1.75/1 -7%) Pleasant Man
1.75/1(-7%)
(1) Pleasant Man 1.75/1, Useful stayer on Flat who was picked up from Roger Charlton for 175,000 gns. Yet to live up to that price tag but his recent near miss on 18.5f Exeter handicap hurdle debut shows he can be very competitive from his mark.
3
3rd (2) (9/1 -20%) Just Loose Change
9/1(-20%)
(2) Just Loose Change 9/1, Signs of abilty before making a big step up to defy odds of 28/1 on handicap debut at Worcester in October readily going clear of 2 next-time-out winners. 9 lb rise is unlikely to prevent a bold bid if ready to roll after a break.
4
4th (8) (4/1 +47%) Karakoram
4/1(+47%)
(8) Karakoram 4/1, Consistent former C&D winner who scored at Exeter in December. Another sound effort when close fifth of 13 back at Exeter last week. Likely to give his running again.
5th
5th (6) (20/1 -25%) Prince Nino
20/1(-25%)
(6) Prince Nino 20/1, Well held in Kempton bumper on only outing for Paul Nicholls almost 2 years ago. No impact in maiden/novice hurdles for new stable in recent months but he might do better in handicaps. One to note in the betting.
6th
6th (7) (4/1 -14%) Clay
4/1(-14%)
(7) Clay 4/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat for Richard Hannon. Improved effort over hurdles when third of 17 on 2m Doncaster handicap debut 11 days ago. Likely capable of better again and should have a big say.
7th
7th (10) (33/1 -18%) Mr Snow Way
33/1(-18%)
(10) Mr Snow Way 33/1, Half-brother to very smart hurdler/winning chaser Summerville Boy but just minor promise in bumpers and maiden/novice hurdles. Has cheekpieces added now switching to handicap company.
8th
8th (5) (80/1 -21%) Barrowmount
80/1(-21%)
(5) Barrowmount 80/1, Maiden winner in 2021 but all downhill in handicaps back from a lengthy absence.
9th
9th (4) (8/1 +43%) Celtic Fortune
8/1(+43%)
(4) Celtic Fortune 8/1, Some promise in a bumper on sole start last term and posted his best effort to date over hurdles when ninth in a 15-runner Chepstow novice (2m) last time. One to note in the betting now handicapping.
10th
10th (9) (22/1 -144%) Tango Arumba
22/1(-144%)
(9) Tango Arumba 22/1, Irish point winner who made all on bumper debut at Newton Abbot in June. Well held in maiden/novice hurdles since but appeals as one who could have more to offer now switching his attentions to handicaps. Tongue tied first time.
11th
11th (11) (22/1 +21%) Born In Borris
22/1(+21%)
(11) Born In Borris 22/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.5f, good to soft, 11/1) when last seen in November. A subsequent wind op needs to have had a positive effect.
LTO Selection:
16:30 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(5) Miladygrace 1.75/1, First success in Taunton handicap chase in November and ran well at Leicester next time. Took a heavy fall at Warwick latest though and hopefully that won't have left a mark. Back up in trip.
2
2nd (4) (2.5/1 +38%) Imperial Pride
2.5/1(+38%)
(4) Imperial Pride 2.5/1, Placed in a couple of points and has made a fair crack at hurdling. Quickly switches to chasing and could do better in this sphere.
3
3rd (2) (9/1 -13%) Stamina Chope
9/1(-13%)
(2) Stamina Chope 9/1, Opened chase account off this mark at Sedgefield (21.1f) last spring and recent Hereford hurdles run should have blown the cobwebs away. Wouldn't dismiss.
4
4th (3) (8.5/1 -42%) Toughasoldboots
8.5/1(-42%)
(3) Toughasoldboots 8.5/1, Fair winning hurdler usually ridden prominently. Been given a chance by the handicapper now chasing.
5th
5th (1) (3.33/1 -21%) Emorelle
3.33/1(-21%)
(1) Emorelle 3.33/1, Modest maiden hurdler who caught the eye in 3m Ffos Las handicap last time and makes a fair bit of appeal starting out over fences in a winnable race.
(4) Almost Gotaway 9/1, Found improvement when opening account in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Wincanton (2½m, good to soft) in November but needs to shrug off a poor run at Market Rasen on Boxing Day.
2
2nd (5) (1.25/1 +17%) Issar d'Airy
1.25/1(+17%)
(5) Issar d'Airy 1.25/1, Pulled up on Lingfield handicap debut in November but a totally different proposition when returning there last week, winning comfortably despite a serious mid-race mistake. Looks well treated under a 7 lb penalty.
3
3rd (3) (4.5/1 -41%) Fame And Fun
4.5/1(-41%)
(3) Fame And Fun 4.5/1, Made a winning handicap debut with a tongue tie added (retained) over C&D just after Christmas. In contention when unseating 2 out at Wincanton last week. Likely to go well.
4
4th (2) (50/1 -150%) Let's Go Amigo
50/1(-150%)
(2) Let's Go Amigo 50/1, Has more than hinted at ability and is probably the type to do better in handicaps but he'll need plenty of improvement to defy this opening mark.
5th
5th (11) (3.33/1 +52%) Justshortofabubble
3.33/1(+52%)
(11) Justshortofabubble 3.33/1, Went close over C&D last March but has been operating below that level this season, beaten 29 lengths when second at Ffos Las a week ago.
6th
6th (1) (100/1 -100%) Light In The Sky
100/1(-100%)
(1) Light In The Sky 100/1, Won at Fontwell in June 2021 (final start for Paul Nicholls) but has offered little in a hurdle and AW Flat handicap since returning from an absence for a new yard. Hooded first time.
7th
7th (7) (33/1 -32%) Arthalot
33/1(-32%)
(7) Arthalot 33/1, Fair on Flat. Beaten a long way on his completed start over hurdles but handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance of success. One to monitor in the betting.
8th
8th (9) (10/1 -25%) Sassified
10/1(-25%)
(9) Sassified 10/1, Fairly useful on Flat in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh. Beaten a long way in a trio of novice hurdles for new stable but he could come into his own now handicapping. Yard won the race last year. One to keep a close eye on in the betting.
9th
9th (6) (40/1 -100%) Per Vino Veritas
40/1(-100%)
(6) Per Vino Veritas 40/1, Modest maiden. Strong in the betting but could only manage a midfield finish on 2m course reappearance. Pulled up on Fontwell chase debut since. First-time blinkers need to help.
10th
10th (8) (28/1 -133%) Just Another One
28/1(-133%)
(8) Just Another One 28/1, Ran to fairly useful level on second Flat outing and shaped well when runner-up on Market Rasen hurdle debut in September. Below that level twice since but still early days. Sports first-time cheekpieces now moving into handicap company.
LTO Selection:
17:00 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(7) Muscika 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 7/1, last of 12 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes.
2
2nd (4) (2.5/1 +0%) Walking On Clouds
2.5/1(+0%)
(4) Walking On Clouds 2.5/1, Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Three wins from 9 runs last year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 11/8) 12 days ago. Merits consideration in his hat-trick bid, for all that a 5 lb rise demands more.
3
3rd (5) (8/1 +27%) Ballyare
8/1(+27%)
(5) Ballyare 8/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 14/1) 12 days ago. Others make more appeal.
4
4th (3) (7/1 +18%) Intervention
7/1(+18%)
(3) Intervention 7/1, C&D winner. Seven wins from 25 runs last year. Creditable second of 5 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 11/2) 17 days ago. Entitled to have a say in the finish.

6/1(+8%)
(8) Idoapologise 6/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 21 runs last year. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 5 days ago, faring best of those held up. Expected to be bang there.

2.75/1(-46%)
(1) Vespasian 2.75/1, Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 4/1) 14 days ago. Back up in trip and should make his presence felt.
7th
7th (2) (8.5/1 -21%) Algheed
8.5/1(-21%)
(2) Algheed 8.5/1, Back-to-back winner here in January. 3/1, good third of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 11 days ago. Unlikely she will be far away.
8th
8th (9) (66/1 -65%) Q Twenty Boy
66/1(-65%)
(9) Q Twenty Boy 66/1, C&D winner. 16/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 28 days ago. Back up in trip and he's 3 lb 'wrong' at the weights.
9th
9th (6) (25/1 -25%) Sarah's Verse
25/1(-25%)
(6) Sarah's Verse 25/1, C&D winner. 20/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, running on. Likely to find a few too good.
LTO Selection:
17:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Angel Amadea 5/1, Fair mare. 20/1, off 4 months/first run since leaving Chris Wall when below form third of 6 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 10 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. This is easier and good claims on pick of her form.
2
2nd (3) (2.5/1 +67%) Okeanos
2.5/1(+67%)
(3) Okeanos 2.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 12 in minor event (40/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 7 days ago. Down in trip. Place claims.
3
3rd (6) (80/1 -60%) Jacquelina
80/1(-60%)
(6) Jacquelina 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Off 6 months. Hooded for 1st time. Looks poor at this stage.
4

0.91/1(+17%)
(2) Bobby Dassler 0.91/1, Fair gelding. 5/2, off 3 months/first run since leaving Eddie & Patrick Harty when respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago, racng freely. Should be much closer to form back in trip this time and strong claims.
5th
5th (4) (9/1 +10%) Rajmeister
9/1(+10%)
(4) Rajmeister 9/1, 50/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago. Looks to have lost his way.

(1) Boarhunt 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, last of 12 in maiden at this course (7.2f) 71 days ago.
7th
7th (7) (40/1 +0%) Loco Lobo
40/1(+0%)
(7) Loco Lobo 40/1, Captain Gerrard mare. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Wears hood. Belated debut but wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to pick up some prize money.
LTO Selection:
18:00 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Fleurman 10/1, Had disappointed in 2 handicap hurdles this winter but he was quite useful when last seen on the Flat in 2021. Would come into it if the betting vibes are strong.
2
2nd (4) (1.1/1 +33%) Blazeon Five
1.1/1(+33%)
(4) Blazeon Five 1.1/1, Notched a hat-trick in staying handicaps on AW at the end of 2022. Couldn't complete the 4-timer at Kempton last month but still improved again in second. Looks sure to give another good account.
3
3rd (1) (4/1 +0%) Military Two Step
4/1(+0%)
(1) Military Two Step 4/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year. 7/1, creditable fourth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (2m) 13 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts again.

4th (5) (7/1 +7%) Mukha Magic
7/1(+7%)
(5) Mukha Magic 7/1, Five wins from 16 runs last year and added another at Lingfield (2m) at the start of January. Has performed no more than respectably twice since, though.
5th
5th (6) (18/1 +45%) Grandee
18/1(+45%)
(6) Grandee 18/1, Last Flat win was back in 2019 but did score over hurdles at Uttoxeter in October. 40/1, last of 6 in handicap at Kempton (2m) back on the Flat 13 days ago. Will need to leave that behind.
6th
6th (3) (6/1 +29%) Smart Champion
6/1(+29%)
(3) Smart Champion 6/1, Pair of 2m wins last year, latterly at Kempton in September. Only a respectable fifth in 2 outings there last month but he's down to only 1lb above his last winning mark.
LTO Selection:
18:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(11) Perseverants 28/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 66/1) 15 days ago. Readily passed over.

10/1(-11%)
(9) Revolutionise 10/1, C&D winner in November. 16/1, creditable second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 17 days ago, running on. Vulnerable from a win point of view.
3
3rd (8) (7.5/1 -36%) Jilly Cooper
7.5/1(-36%)
(8) Jilly Cooper 7.5/1, 7/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D 11 days ago, bit in hand. This is tougher up 3 lb but she looks set for another bold show.
4
4th (5) (6/1 +20%) Larado
6/1(+20%)
(5) Larado 6/1, Latest win at Newcastle in December. 66/1, 7 lengths fifth of 6 to Manaafith in listed race at Lingfield (8f, AW) 3 days ago. Others preferred.
5th

3/1(+14%)
(7) Master Zoffany 3/1, C&D winner in December. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 11/4) 28 days ago. Likely to find one or two too strong.

7/1(-40%)
(6) Tylos 7/1, C&D winner. 11/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 12 days ago, well positioned. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he's in with an each-way shout.

16/1(-78%)
(2) Amber Island 16/1, C&D winner. 40/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 43 days ago. Others look stronger for win purposes.

9/1(+18%)
(3) Keyser Soze 9/1, 17/2 and blinkered for 1st time, won 8-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago, slowly away. His profile suggests that he's far from certain to follow up but there's no denying that he remains on a good mark following a 4 lb rise.
9th
9th (4) (3.33/1 +26%) Farhh To Shy
3.33/1(+26%)
(4) Farhh To Shy 3.33/1, Fourth of 5 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 9/2) 37 days ago. Merits consideration judged on her previous C&D third when around a length adrift of the re-opposing runner-up Jilly Cooper.
10th
10th (10) (25/1 +0%) Counsel
25/1(+0%)
(10) Counsel 25/1, Unreliable individual. Creditable seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 15/2) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive on balance.

100/1(-100%)
(1) Moai 100/1, First run since leaving P. Bary when last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 50/1) on UK debut 12 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

(6) Piffle 6/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (5/2) at Kempton (7f) 10 days ago. Has to enter calculations.
2
2nd (5) (3.33/1 -67%) Plumette
3.33/1(-67%)
(5) Plumette 3.33/1, Four-time course winner. Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at this C&D (11/1) 20 days ago. Nudged up just 1 lb and she's a big player.
3
3rd (1) (1.38/1 +27%) Smiling Sunflower
1.38/1(+27%)
(1) Smiling Sunflower 1.38/1, First run since leaving Darryll Holland and produced a career-best when winning 6-runner handicap at this course (8.6f, 6/1) 8 days ago, very slowly away. Should give it a good shot under a penalty.

8.5/1(+29%)
(2) Misty Ayr 8.5/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 66/1). Off 95 days and cheekpieces on 1st time. Others preferred.

(4) Amber Dew 14/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 33/1) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on and she needs to bounce back.

19:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(2) Noodle Mission 3/1, C&D winner on handicap debut in January. May have found run coming too soon when last of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (1m, 4/11) 9 days later, finding little. No surprise were he to resume his progression.
2
2nd (3) (1.5/1 +57%) Emperor Zen
1.5/1(+57%)
(3) Emperor Zen 1.5/1, Winner at Kempton in December and went close in a similar event at Lingfield 17 days later. Nudged up another 2 lb but still respected.
3

8/1(-100%)
(7) Tennessee Dream 8/1, On a 4-timer after landing a pair of 6f classified events and a 7f course handicap last month. Likely to remain very competitive after just a 2 lb rise but longer trip asks a different question.
4
4th (6) (11/1 +31%) Leap Year Lad
11/1(+31%)
(6) Leap Year Lad 11/1, Modest form. Respectable fifth of 15 in nursery at Pontefract (1m, good to soft, 28/1) when last seen in October. Others are less exposed.

3.5/1(-17%)
(1) Star Of Mayo 3.5/1, Progressive, winning 10-runner novice at Lingfield (1m 31 days ago. Should be more to come in handicaps. Leading claims.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(6) Bit Harsh 1.38/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 6/1) 33 days ago. That is good form and he has to be taken seriously in hat-trick bid back up in trip.
2
2nd (3) (1.75/1 +7%) Dinoo
1.75/1(+7%)
(3) Dinoo 1.75/1, Latest win here in November. 11/4, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 19 days ago, left with too much to do. Strong claims off the same mark.

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.
