14:05 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

ASK ME ANOTHER finished 17 lengths clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot on her seasonal return at Huntingdon last month and only has a 1lb higher mark to contend with today. Robbie Llewellyn's five-year-old might only need to reproduce that effort in order to go one better. Don't Tell Rosie showed more when fourth over an extended 2m here on her latest outing and she could prove a different proposition now that she tackles the handicap ranks. Of the remainder, Lady Showtime makes the most appeal.

The two 5-y-o mares, ASK ME ANOTHER and Don't Tell Rosie, appear to possess the greatest potential and could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter appears to have been gradually brought along with handicaps very much in mind and she is of strong interest now pitched into one off what looks a fair opening mark. However, she may find Ask Me Another too hot to handle following that rival's good reappearance/handicap debut second at Huntingdon. Holeshot is best of the rest.

The most obvious answer is ASK ME ANOTHER, who was placed on last month's seasonal/handicap debut and probably still has potential.

Blacksamssenorita failed to justify favouritism when only finishing third at Exeter in November, but she might be worth another chance on only her second start over hurdles. However, the vote goes to CORNISH STORM, who split a pair of subsequent winners when hitting the woodwork over C&D in February last year. The six-year-old had a recent spin on the Flat to blow the cobwebs away, finishing third at Kempton, and looks primed to strike. Public Enemy rates best of the remainder.

CORNISH STORM made a good return on the level recently and can go one better than last year when he was second in this. Blacksamssenorita is feared most ahead of Public Enemy starting out for Anthony Honeyball.

Last year's runner-up CORNISH STORM returned from a layoff with a pleasing Flat run and he is preferred now back hurdling.

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

DUFFRY TRIXS outran his odds of 66/1 when occupying the runner-up berth at Plumpton last month and he could improvement plenty for that introduction to hurdles. If the six-year-old can build on that performance, then he may be the one to beat. The Final Word showed promise when making the frame over C&D on his hurdles debut and could have a say, while Maximum Offers is another to consider after his third-placed effort at Carlisle.

Successful on his third start on the Flat in France, CATCH ON ME built on his hurdles debut run when a good third in a 4-y-o event at Auteuil last summer. Appealing as the type to do better still for his new yard, including now tackling this longer trip, he's selected to come out on top. That said, both The Final Word and Maximum Offers have reasons to recommend them, and are respected, as is Duffry Trix.

Catch On Me should be watched in the market but THE FINAL WORD put up a good show here on his hurdle debut and has clear potential.

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

Last month's C&D winner Safe Destination must enter the reckoning in his current heart and a hat-trick would come as no surprise. However, a 6lb rise in the ratings does demands another career-best performance from the seven-year-old and EXMOOR FOREST is a shade more compelling. Nigel Hawke's charge only faltered in the closing stages when a close third over 3m at Doncaster 25 days ago and today's 2m7f distance could prove more suitable. Last-time-out winner Camulus can also make his presence felt.

EXMOOR FOREST is in good heart and is taken to resume winning ways. Safe Destination won't be far away again seeking his fourth win in 5 starts this season, while Camulus and Gold Link can't be discounted either in a decent handicap for the grade.

Nigel Hawke's EXMOOR FOREST has posted two good efforts off today's mark this winter and might be the answer.

AURIGNY MILL justified strong support in the market when regaining the winning thread in a class 2 event here last month. Despite the eight-year-old being 4lb higher in the ratings now, he makes plenty of appeal reverting to class 3 company and a sixth career victory may be on the horizon. Liari arrives on the back of a weakening third over 2m4f at Musselburgh and Paul Nicholls' gelding is feared most reverting to 2m, ahead of Luttrell Lad.

LIARI seemed stretch by 2½m at Musselburgh on New Year's Day and might be worth siding with to resume winning ways having eased 4 lb in the handicap since the start of the season. Aurigny Mill is thriving for new trainer Robert Walford and is feared most ahead of Stream of Stars.

Aurigny Mill is solid but the one who appeals most is last season's smart juvenile LIARI (nap) whose sights are lowered here.

SHEARER came home in splendid isolation on his comeback to complete a hat-trick at Ffos Las 12 days ago and the nine-year-old clearly retains plenty of ability. Although a quick turnaround after that return from a 601-day absence is a concern, the son of Flemensfirth holds outstanding claims again. Reopposing rival Acey Milan unseated his rider at the opening fence on that occasion, but he's could serve the most resistance to the selection if over that mishap. Haven't Time is the pick of the remainder.

It's hard to see past SHEARER, who had plenty to spare on his recent Ffos Las hunter debut. If there is to be a threat it'll likely come from Acey Milan, who unseated early in that Ffos Las race but prior to that returned from a lay-off with a near miss in a Larkhill point.

The quick reappearance is a nagging concern but the chances are that SHEARER will follow up his easy win at Ffos Las.
