Taunton 14:05
DragonBet Proud Sponsors Of Taunton Racecourse EBF Junior “National Hunt” Hurdle (GBB Race)
Winner £4,955, 2nd £2,283, 3rd £1,141, 4th £571
4yo, 10 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 104y , GOOD TO SOFT (GoingStick: 7.3) (Rail movements: 2.05, 2.40, 3.10 & 5.10 +84yds, 3.40 +75yds, 4.10 +120yds and 4.40 +45yds)
Sherminator – 15/8 (Best odds: bet365)
Arrives on the back of an impressive victory at Newbury, where he got the better of a well-regarded rival. Harry Fry’s charge has to shoulder a penalty for that win, but Bryan Carver retains the ride and his experience at this level could be a key asset. A strong contender.
Cote D’Ange – 12/1 (Best odds: Betvictor)
Yet to make his mark in the National Hunt sphere, but Sam Thomas has a good record in these types of races. Dylan Johnston takes the ride, and while he’s an unknown quantity, any market support would be worth noting.
Flash In The Pan – 80/1 (Best odds: Unibet)
Has struggled to put in a complete performance so far, falling last time out when beaten. Bill Turner’s runner will need a dramatic turnaround to be competitive here, and Harry Kimber will have his work cut out to get him involved.
Good For You – 4/1 (Best odds: bet365)
Produced a solid effort when runner-up last time and looks to be progressing well. Jane Williams’ charge has David Noonan in the saddle again, and with further improvement, he could be a serious player in this field.
Red N Yellow – 11/4 (Best odds: Betvictor)
Philip Hobbs & Johnson White’s runner has been consistent, finishing second in both starts so far. Micheal Nolan keeps the ride, and if he continues on the same trajectory, he should be right in the mix once again.
Shareyourbiscuits – 10/1 (Best odds: Unibet)
Dan Skelton’s lightly raced four-year-old didn’t show much on debut but could improve significantly. Tristan Durrell claims a valuable 3lb, and if the stable has worked on his jumping, he might surprise a few at a price.
The Goose – 22/1 (Best odds: bet365)
Hasn’t been able to make much of an impact so far, but Neil Mulholland’s yard is capable of improving young horses. Harriet Tucker takes the ride, but significant progress would be required to be competitive here.
Uhtred Ragnarson – 11/1 (Best odds: Betvictor)
Alan King’s charge has put in a couple of fair efforts, but he still looks like a work in progress. Philip Armson takes the reins, and if he can take another step forward, he might have a say in the finish.
Adaay Dancing – 100/1 (Best odds: Unibet)
Difficult to make a case for based on form, as Stuart Kittow’s runner hasn’t yet shown enough to suggest he’ll be competitive here. Ben Godfrey takes the ride, but he’s best watched today.
Conniemak – 12/1 (Best odds: bet365)
Made a respectable start when third on debut and could improve further. Tim Vaughan’s runner is partnered with Alan Johns, and if he builds on his initial effort, he might be in contention for a place.
Verdict
Red N Yellow has shown consistency and may have enough to get off the mark here. Sherminator is an obvious danger, but carrying a penalty might just make things trickier for him. Good For You has the potential to progress further and should be respected, while Conniemak could be a lively each-way contender if improving from his debut.

Taunton 14:40
Royal Bath & West Show Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle
Winner £4,753, 2nd £2,187, 3rd £1,094, 4th £547, 5th £273
4yo+, 14 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 3f 1y , SOFT, Heavy in places on Hurdles course (Rail Movements: 1.50, 2.25 &4.456 +138yds, 3.00 & 4.10 +24yds and 3.35 +180yds)
Disguisedlimit – 9/2 (Best odds: bet365)
Has been running consistently, placing in two of his three starts under rules. The Philip Hobbs & Johnson White-trained six-year-old will be partnered by Micheal Nolan again, and with a bit more improvement, he could be a genuine threat in this contest.
Eton Blue – 25/1 (Best odds: Betvictor)
Lightly raced over hurdles but has some fair Flat form in his past performances. George Baker’s runner will be ridden by Rex Dingle, and while he has plenty to prove, his past ability suggests he shouldn’t be completely ruled out.
Fasol – 13/8 (Best odds: Unibet)
Paul Nicholls’ runner has been knocking on the door and has been placed multiple times in similar company. Harry Cobden retains the ride, and given his past performances, he looks to be one of the leading contenders in this field.
Hector’s Hope – 150/1 (Best odds: bet365)
A longshot who has yet to show any meaningful form. Chris Down’s seven-year-old will need a major step forward to be competitive here. Nick Scholfield is in the saddle, but others have much stronger claims.
High Fibre – 6/4 (Best odds: Betvictor)
A consistent performer who has placed in all three hurdle outings so far. Harry Fry’s six-year-old has shown enough ability to suggest he can go close again, with Bryan Carver booked to ride.
Millsbridge – 150/1 (Best odds: Unibet)
Adrian Wintle’s seven-year-old has little to recommend him after an uninspiring debut. Tom Bellamy is in the saddle, but a big improvement is required to get involved in the finish.
Monteria – 11/1 (Best odds: bet365)
Lightly raced under rules, but Stuart Kittow’s seven-year-old could take a step forward here. Sean Houlihan is booked for the ride, and he’s one to watch in the market for any late support.
Saddlers Dream – 150/1 (Best odds: Betvictor)
Bill Turner’s five-year-old has yet to show any form of note. Harry Kimber takes the ride, but he would be a surprise winner based on what we’ve seen so far.
Sangpoursangamoi – 33/1 (Best odds: Unibet)
Yet to get off the mark, but Sam Thomas’ five-year-old is still relatively unexposed. Dylan Johnston claims 3lb, and he could be an interesting outsider if taking a step forward.
Ted The Thief – 12/1 (Best odds: bet365)
Has put together some decent efforts, including a second-place finish before getting off the mark last time out. Kayley Woollacott’s runner, partnered with Ben Godfrey, could be one to keep an eye on in this company.
Game On Babe – 25/1 (Best odds: Betvictor)
Has shown glimpses of ability but lacks consistency. Fergal O’Brien’s six-year-old is partnered with Fern O’Brien, and while capable on his day, he needs to prove he can put it all together.
Glancing Back – 100/1 (Best odds: Unibet)
Little to recommend based on what we’ve seen so far. Emma-Jane Bishop’s five-year-old has James Best aboard but will need a significant improvement to feature.
Pretty Punctual – 125/1 (Best odds: bet365)
Max Comley’s five-year-old has struggled to make an impact. David Bass takes the ride, but he would need a drastic form turnaround to get competitive.
Baronetti – 16/1 (Best odds: Betvictor)
Nigel Hawke’s four-year-old is relatively unexposed and could improve. David Noonan is booked to ride, and although he’s facing more experienced rivals, he could be one for the future.
Verdict
Fasol has been running consistently in similar contests and looks capable of landing this for Paul Nicholls. High Fibre is another who has been thereabouts and should be a major player, while Disguisedlimit could also be in the mix if continuing his steady progress. Ted The Thief is an interesting outsider who might run better than his odds suggest.

Taunton 15:10
Richard Williams Memorial Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Winner £7,024, 2nd £3,232, 3rd £1,616, 4th £809, 5th £403
5yo+, 5 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 5f 150y , SOFT, Heavy in places on Hurdles course (Rail Movements: 1.50, 2.25 &4.456 +138yds, 3.00 & 4.10 +24yds and 3.35 +180yds)
Baseline – 7/2 (Best odds: bet365)
Philip Hobbs & Johnson White’s seven-year-old has produced some decent performances, finishing second on his penultimate start. He has shown enough to suggest he could go well here, and with Sean Houlihan in the saddle, he should be in contention.
Sunninghill – 3/1 (Best odds: Betvictor)
A consistent type who has hit the frame several times without managing to get his head in front. Another runner from the Hobbs/White stable, he has Micheal Nolan booked and looks likely to be involved in the finish again.
Renoir – 9/1 (Best odds: Unibet)
Has been runner-up on his last two starts and is showing good progress. Ben Clarke’s six-year-old is ridden by Rex Dingle, and if he can improve further, he could challenge for a place at decent odds.
Phoenix Risen – 8/1 (Best odds: bet365)
A previous course-and-distance winner who has been inconsistent of late. Jeremy Scott’s eight-year-old will be partnered by Chad Bament, and if he rediscovers his best form, he could be a lively outsider.
Dirty Den – 2/1 (Best odds: Betvictor)
One of the main market fancies, having hit the frame in his last two outings. Anthony Charlton’s five-year-old, ridden by James Best, looks primed for another strong showing and has a solid chance of making a breakthrough victory.
Taritino – 14/1 (Best odds: Unibet)
Joe Tickle’s five-year-old has struggled for consistency and failed to complete last time out. Taylor Fisher takes the ride, and while he needs to step up significantly, he could surprise if things go his way.
Majestic Mia – 33/1 (Best odds: bet365)
Christian Williams’ mare has failed to make an impact in recent starts. Jack Tudor takes the ride, but she will need a big performance to trouble the main contenders.
Verdict
Dirty Den looks to be improving and could finally land a deserved victory. Sunninghill has been consistent and should be thereabouts, while Renoir has shown enough potential to be competitive. Phoenix Risen has past winning form at the track and could be an interesting outsider.

Camulus – 15/8 🔗 bet365
This lightly raced 8-year-old put in a strong performance last time out when securing victory at Wetherby. With a progressive profile, he has a solid chance of following up here.
Safe Destination – 3/1 🔗 BetMGM
A consistent type who has picked up multiple wins in recent starts. His form remains strong, and he should be in the mix once again.
Exmoor Forest – 9/2 🔗 Betvictor
Has been in and around the places lately without managing to get his head in front. Needs to find extra to challenge the top two but shouldn’t be dismissed.
Robinsville – 11/2 🔗 bet365
Stepping up in trip could work in his favour, having shown signs of improvement in recent outings. Could be an interesting contender at decent odds.
Gold Link – 10/1 🔗 BetMGM
Has struggled for form this season but is on a fair mark if bouncing back to his best.
Ask Brewster – 14/1 🔗 Betvictor
Started the season well but has since lost his way. Needs to rediscover his earlier form to have a say in this.
No But I Will – 20/1 🔗 bet365
Recent performances have been well below expectations. A return to form is needed, but that looks unlikely given his recent struggles.
Mister Bells – 20/1 🔗 BetMGM
Has been inconsistent and would need a marked improvement to challenge the leading contenders.
Verdict
Camulus has been improving with each run and looks the one to beat. Safe Destination has been in excellent form and should be right there in contention. Exmoor Forest is another who could make his presence felt if everything falls into place.

Winner £7,024, 2nd £3,232, 3rd £1,616, 4th £809, 5th £403
5yo+, 5 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 7f 3y , SOFT, Heavy in places on Hurdles course (Rail Movements: 1.50, 2.25 &4.456 +138yds, 3.00 & 4.10 +24yds and 3.35 +180yds)
Aurigny Mill – 2/1 🔗 bet365
A strong campaign so far, having won two of his last three outings. With his most recent success coming in convincing fashion, he remains a key player despite carrying top weight.
Liari – 9/4 🔗 BetMGM
Represents the Paul Nicholls yard and has shown flashes of real ability. Still relatively unexposed, and if he can improve on his latest efforts, he should be in contention.
Schmilsson – 5/1 🔗 Betvictor
Has been running consistently without quite managing to get his head in front. A step forward would be needed, but he remains one to watch in this field.
Stream Of Stars – 7/1 🔗 bet365
Produced some solid performances earlier in the season and is capable of making an impact. However, he needs to find a bit more to trouble the top two in the market.
Out Of Office – 8/1 🔗 BetMGM
Has been off the track for some time but displayed promise when last seen. If fit after the break, he could offer some value at a bigger price.
Luttrell Lad – 10/1 🔗 Betvictor
A past winner at this venue, but recent performances have been underwhelming. Needs to bounce back to have a chance here.
The Widdow Maker – 25/1 🔗 bet365
Has struggled since returning from a long layoff and would need to rediscover past form to be competitive in this contest.
Verdict
Aurigny Mill arrives in top form and could prove difficult to beat. Liari has the potential to step up and challenge, while Schmilsson has been running well enough to be in the mix.

Taunton 16:40
South West Rail Solutions Ltd Open Hunters’ Chase
Winner £3,278, 2nd £1,640, 3rd £819, 4th £410, 5th £205
5yo+, 9 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 7f 3y , SOFT, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: 5.6) (Rail movements: 2.05, 2.35, 3.05 & 4.10 +126yds)
Shearer – 8/15 🔗 bet365
An impressive performer who returned to action with a strong win. Looks the classiest in the field and should be difficult to oppose at this level.
Acey Milan – 3/1 🔗 BetMGM
Has shown some promise in similar events and was unlucky not to finish last time out. If things go smoothly, he could be a real contender here.
Haven’t Time – 10/1 🔗 Betvictor
Consistent and has made the frame in each of his last few runs. Will need to find extra to trouble the main two, but is capable of sneaking into the places.
Lakota Warrior – 14/1 🔗 bet365
A reliable type with a fair record, though his recent form has been inconsistent. Needs to step up to make a real impact in this field.
Windance – 25/1 🔗 BetMGM
Course winner in the past, but hasn’t been at his best lately. A revival would be needed to get competitive against some of these rivals.
Didero Vallis – 25/1 🔗 Betvictor
Experienced at this level but hasn’t won for a while. Place chances at best if rediscovering some of his earlier ability.
Viva Lavilla – 20/1 🔗 bet365
Capable on his day, but recent efforts suggest he’s got work to do. May need softer ground to be seen at his best.
Missed Tee – 25/1 🔗 BetMGM
Fair form in similar company but has been struggling to land a blow recently. Needs to produce more to get involved here.
Miladygrace – 50/1 🔗 Betvictor
Looks up against it in this contest, with her best form coming in weaker company. Would be a surprise to see her challenge.
Verdict
Shearer sets the standard and will be hard to beat if running to form. Acey Milan is the most likely danger, while Haven’t Time could be the best option for those looking for an each-way angle
