14:05 Taunton Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (11/8 +39%) Sherminator	1.375 11/8(+39%)	(1) Sherminator 11/8, Built on bumper promise when winning 7-runner juvenile hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft, 11/4) on hurdles bow 54 days ago on his sole run for Emma Lavelle. Open to improvement for his new yard. Likely player. Won on hurdling debut for Emma Lavelle at Newbury; now with a new stable.
4 (4) (10/3 +17%) Good For You	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(4) Good For You 10/3, Built on debut fourth when second of 14 in novice hurdle (12/1) at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 23 days ago. Likely to progress further, so he's the one to beat. Bettered debut effort when second of 14 at Wincanton last month; leading contender.
5 (5) (7/2 -40%) Red N Yellow	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(5) Red N Yellow 7/2, Promising sort who has come in second in juvenile hurdles at Bangor and Exeter this winter. May do better still after a break so he's very much one to consider. Ideally needs to learn to settle better but came second on his first two outings.
2 (2) (14/1 0%) Cote D'ange	14 14/1(0%)	(2) Cote D'ange 14/1, Bathyrhon gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France Cote Fleurie and fair French chaser Cote d'Albatre. Considered newcomer. Half-brother to two French jumps winners; worth a glance in the betting before debut.
10 (10) (18/1 +10%) Conniemak	18 18/1(+10%)	(10) Conniemak 18/1, Showed some promise when t hird of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Chepstow (16f, heavy, 18/1) on NH debut 41 days ago. Can't be discounted if building on it. Just a respectable third of six on debut at Chepstow but open to improvement.
8 (8) (20/1 -82%) Uhtred Ragnarson	20 20/1(-82%)	(8) Uhtred Ragnarson 20/1, Fair form shown in bumpers, sixth of 11 in bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) 32 days ago. Much respected now going over hurdles. Showed some promise in bumpers but improvement is required on this hurdling debut.
6 (6) (40/1 -400%) Shareyourbiscuits	40 40/1(-400%)	(6) Shareyourbiscuits 40/1, 10/3, well-held fifth of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Warwick (16f, soft) on NH debut 30 days ago. In top hands but lots more is required. With a top stable but was unable to land a significant blow on debut.
3 (3) (150/1 -127%) Flash In The Pan	150 150/1(-127%)	(3) Flash In The Pan 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, behind when fell last in novice hurdle over C&D (soft, 50/1) 20 days ago. Needs a big step forward. Has shown a modicum of ability but was beaten when falling over C&D last month.
9 (9) (200/1 -33%) Adaay Dancing	200 200/1(-33%)	(9) Adaay Dancing 200/1, 100/1 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 8 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 39 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with lots more required. Well beaten when 100-1 for two slow-ground Wincanton bumpers during the winter.

14:05 Taunton Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

RED N YELLOW has shown a lot of promise in finishing second in both his previous starts and won't need much of a step forward to get off the mark at just the third time of asking. Sherminator has form that ties in with the selection but a 7lb penalty for his Newbury success could be his undoing here. Good For You was a good second in a maiden at Wincanton last month and can also figure with another step forward.

GOOD FOR YOU holds much the best form on show and looks capable of better still so is fancied to get off the mark and fend off Harry Fry's new recruit and Newbury scorer Sherminator. Red N Yellow can also have a say though and could be set for a place once more.

Harry Fry's new recruit SHERMINATOR beat a good yardstick at Newbury in January and might be good enough to overcome his penalty.

14:40 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (1/1 +38%) Fasol	1 1/1(+38%)	(3) Fasol 1/1, A useful winning stayer on the Flat in France. Yet to match that form over hurdles and only ninth of 10 in 2m4f Windsor handicap in January. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark a resurgence. Had wind op after below-par run in January; big player if judged on earlier handicap form.
5 (5) (5/2 -25%) High Fibre	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(5) High Fibre 5/2, Fairly useful on Flat and shaped well when placed at Wincanton and Taunton switched to hurdles. Only third when odds-on for Kempton maiden hurdle last time however. Worth another chance. Below form when warm favourite last time but remains of interest in this type of event.
1 (1) (3/1 +14%) Disguisedlimit	3 3/1(+14%)	(1) Disguisedlimit 3/1, Mahler gelding won sole start in Irish points and showed promise when placed in maiden hurdles at Chepstow and Southwell before Christmas. Open to a fair bit of progress after a break. Player. Irish point winner; settled better when second at Southwell in December; more needed here.
10 (10) (18/1 -29%) Ted The Thief	18 18/1(-29%)	(10) Ted The Thief 18/1, €11,500 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam unraced. A winning pointer so possibilities now starting out in this sphere. Won a maiden point last month but has much more on his plate on this rules debut.
9 (9) (25/1 +50%) Sangpoursangamoi	25 25/1(+50%)	(9) Sangpoursangamoi 25/1, Shaped well when fourth in bumper at Hereford but he came in last of 10 in similar company at Windsor in January. Needs a big step forward on his hurdles bow. Made fairly encouraging bumper debut at Hereford but well beaten in stronger bumper since.
7 (7) (40/1 -186%) Monteria	40 40/1(-186%)	(7) Monteria 40/1, A fair Flat winner but off since a below-par eighth at Doncaster in October. Needs to hit the ground running now going hurdling. Fair on the Flat at around 1m2f; makes hurdling debut after break; each-way claims.
2 (2) (40/1 -60%) Eton Blue	40 40/1(-60%)	(2) Eton Blue 40/1, Free-going sort rather going through the motions on the level again recently and was well beaten on his sole previous try over hurdles. Fair on the Flat but his only previous hurdle run (in 2022) was disappointing.
11 (11) (50/1 -79%) Game On Babe	50 50/1(-79%)	(11) Game On Babe 50/1, Maiden pointer and she looks more one for the longer term under Rules judged on her efforts in a Market Rasen bumper and novice hurdle last month. Maiden pointer; did not achieve a great deal when last of four finishers on hurdle debut.
12 (12) (150/1 -50%) Glancing Back	150 150/1(-50%)	(12) Glancing Back 150/1, Passing Glance mare. Sister to fair chaser Glance Back, and half-sister to 2 winners, including fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Back By Midnight. Possibilities on her debut. Half-sister to stable's fair chaser Back By Midnight; best watched on debut.
14 (14) (150/1 -500%) Baronetti	150 150/1(-500%)	(14) Baronetti 150/1, Last of 4 in novice on Flat at Lingfield 9 months ago on his sole run for Simon & Ed Crisford. Needs a big step forward on his yard/hurdles bow. Has a good Flat pedigree but his one Flat run last year was disappointing.
4 (4) (250/1 -67%) Hector's Hope	250 250/1(-67%)	(4) Hector's Hope 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle at this course (19f, soft, 250/1) on hurdles bow 34 days ago. Lots more needed. Pulled up when 250-1 for last month's hurdling debut.
13 (13) (250/1 -67%) Pretty Punctual	250 250/1(-67%)	(13) Pretty Punctual 250/1, Well beaten in Catterick bumper last month and a distant tenth in 12-runner mares' maiden on C&D hurdles bow 51 days ago. Well beaten when 300-1 for C&D (good to soft) mares' maiden on hurdling debut in January.
6 (6) (300/1 -100%) Millsbridge	300 300/1(-100%)	(6) Millsbridge 300/1, Eleventh of 13 in bumper (125/1) at Warwick (16f, good) on NH debut. Off 10 months ahead of his hurdles debut with his fitness to prove. Well beaten when a big-priced outsider for good-ground Warwick bumper last April.
8 (8) (300/1 -100%) Saddlers Dream	300 300/1(-100%)	(8) Saddlers Dream 300/1, Has shown little in bumpers at Ffos Las and Fontwell either side of Christmas. Much more is required on his hurdles debut. Showed no promise in two slow-ground bumpers during the winter; hurdle debut today.

14:40 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

High Fibre and FASOL appear to be the pair to focus on, with the latter readily preferred as he drops in class for his first run since undergoing wind surgery. Paul Nicholls has won two of the last six renewals and appears to have plotted an ideal opportunity for the son of Galileo to strike. High Fibre has speed from the Flat and can give the selection plenty to think about on just his fourth hurdles start. Disguisedlimit and point-to-point winner Ted The Thief are other notable options.

Not nearly as competitive as the numbers suggest and winning-pointer DISGUISEDLIMIT is fancied to build on earlier promise and get off the mark in this sphere. High Fibre fluffed his lines when an odds-on third at Kempton last time out but could still emerge as the main danger, although Fasol also has the form to play a big part too if breathing surgery has the desired effect.

High Fibre and FASOL were both below par when last in action but they may end up fighting this out. The latter gets the vote.

15:10 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (5/2 +9%) Sunninghill	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(2) Sunninghill 5/2, Fair Flat maiden who is proving consistent in this sphere, posting a very good third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 74 days ago. Merits serious consideration nudged up 1 lb. Strong traveller who's up to winning off this mark if more amenable back from a break.
4 (4) (3/1 +67%) Phoenix Risen	3 3/1(+67%)	(4) Phoenix Risen 3/1, Scored at Wincanton in December but below par in a pair of handicap hurdles over C&D since. This C&D winner needs to bounce back. Dual C&D winner who hasn't been at his best here the past twice; high in the weights.
1 (1) (4/1 -20%) Baseline	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Baseline 4/1, Failed to build on his Southwell second when a free-going fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft, 6/1) 67 days ago. Could still do better on his handicap hurdle debut though. Huntingdon fourth has worked out particularly well since; can improve if more amenable.
5 (5) (9/2 -100%) Dirty Den	4.5 9/2(-100%)	(5) Dirty Den 9/2, Fair bumper performer who arrives in very good nick, second of 13 in 2m handicap hurdle at Huntingdon 18 days ago. 2 lb higher now but is not taken lightly with cheekpieces added. Hasn't always found a lot but is one of the likelier winners if cheekpieces do the job.
6 (6) (8/1 +43%) Taritino	8 8/1(+43%)	(6) Taritino 8/1, Fair 14f Flat scorer but not at that level back hurdling this winter and fell 3 out in handicap at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 41 days ago. Needs to take a step forward. Still to convince over hurdles (hasn't always jumped well); bit to prove back from a break.
3 (3) (11/1 -47%) Renoir	11 11/1(-47%)	(3) Renoir 11/1, A fair 1m4f Flat scorer who has taken well to hurdling, second in 12-runner novice at Hereford (2m) in January. One to consider now going into handicaps. Remains open to a bit of improvement if settling but will need it off this opening mark.
7 (7) (33/1 +0%) Majestic Mia	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) Majestic Mia 33/1, Hinted at promise but she came in only seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, heavy, 66/1) 17 days ago. Plenty more is required. Isn't obviously fancied, having finished well beaten at a big price on her handicap debut.

15:10 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

DIRTY DEN has been well supported on his last two starts and although coming up short on both occasions, this appears to be the ideal opportunity to gain a first success over timber. With the trip and ground ideal, first-time cheekpieces could provide the son of Dragon Dancer with the missing ingredient. Renoir has a very similar profile and is another attractive proposition on just his third start in this discipline. The stable companions Baseline and Sunninghill are others to keep an eye on.

A tight-knit handicap in which the in-form SUNNINGHILL is taken to gain a deserved first win in this sphere at the chief expense of Dirty Den, who also arrives at the top of his game. Handicap-debutants Renoir and Baseline are also in the picture too.

The Hobbs/White yard has been going well of late and BASELINE is narrowly preferred to stablemate Sunninghill.

15:40 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 28f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (2/1 +64%) Bells Of Peterboro	2 2/1(+64%)	(5) Bells Of Peterboro 2/1, Dual winner at Chepstow last season and bounced back to his best when runner-up in 23f handicap chase at Lingfield 27 days ago. Very much one to consider. Unreliable but ran well in defeat behind a progressive rival last month.
1 (1) (9/4 +36%) Inis Oirr	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(1) Inis Oirr 9/4, A useful winning stayer but yet to hit top form this term. Blinkers replaced usual visor when unseated rider 1st in handicap chase (4/1) at Musselburgh (31.4f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Handily weighted for his in-form yard so not written off. Yet to match form of last season's wide-margin marathon win but still considered.
6 (6) (7/2 -40%) Laskalin	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(6) Laskalin 7/2, Blinkered for 1st time when landing 14-runner handicap chase at Bangor (29.6f, heavy) 31 days ago. Back up 7b lb but not taken lightly with the headgear again sported. Second in this race last year and bounced back to form in first-time blinkers last month.
7 (7) (5/1 +29%) Musical Slave	5 5/1(+29%)	(7) Musical Slave 5/1, Scored at Fontwell in October and has continued in good nick, fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Exeter (30.7f, heavy) 94 days ago. One for the shortlist. On the downgrade but won in the autumn and returns from a break with trip/ground suitable.
3 (3) (12/1 -140%) No Hubs No Hoobs	12 12/1(-140%)	(3) No Hubs No Hoobs 12/1, Ended last season with a hat-trick of staying handicap chase wins. Mark rose considerably as a result and failed to come on for his reappearance when pulled up in the Welsh National in December. This rates more suitable at least. Ended last season in excellent form; yet to get going after two runs this term.

15:40 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 28f Race Class Flow

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

The combination of a longer trip and first-time blinkers proved just the trick for last month's 3m5f Bangor winner LASKALIN and there may be more to come. A 7lb higher rating looks workable for Venetia Williams' veteran and an eighth career victory could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Inis Oirr, who is racing off an attractive mark, while a 2lb nudge up in the ratings shouldn't prevent Lingfield runner-up Bells Of Peterboro going well again either.

INIS OIRR got no further than the first at Mussleburgh last time out but he has slipped in the weights and is fancied to bounce back in style for his in-form yard. Bangor scorer Laskalin rates the obvious threat, although Bells of Peterboro and Musical Slave can both have a say too.

His attempt to defend his Edinburgh National crown five weeks ago did not last long but INIS OIRR remains on a good mark.

16:10 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 (10) (13/8 +19%) Skin Full	1.625 13/8(+19%)	(10) Skin Full 13/8, Didn't come close to justifying strong market support in 2m handicap chase at Wincanton in December, but much more like it when going close back hurdling at Doncaster (24.4f, good). Bred to be much better than his current mark and he looks the way to go. Close second when hiked up to 3m and returned to hurdling last month; must be considered.
7 (7) (3/1 +25%) Ca Plane Pour Moi	3 3/1(+25%)	(7) Ca Plane Pour Moi 3/1, Produced by far his best effort for this yard when third in a 14-runner handicap at Doncaster (24.4f, good) recently. Remains on a very attractive mark (some 23 lb lower compared to this time last year) and he has to enter calculations. 0-12 over hurdles but caught the eye when keeping-on third at Doncaster last month.
1 (1) (7/2 -5%) Weaver's Answer	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(1) Weaver's Answer 7/2, Has showed improved form for the addition of cheekpieces, running as well as ever back from a short break when runner-up at Lingfield (23f, soft) recently. Likely to be on the premises once again. Back on track with two good seconds this winter and can make his presence felt again.
6 (6) (11/1 +31%) Faded Fantasy	11 11/1(+31%)	(6) Faded Fantasy 11/1, No win since June 2023 and although he went close on first try over fences at Hereford in November, there hasn't been much to shout about since and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Yet to add to his 2023 maiden win and recent efforts were very underwhelming.
2 (2) (12/1 -20%) Just Go For It	12 12/1(-20%)	(2) Just Go For It 12/1, Veteran performer who scored off this mark here 12 months ago and wasn't disgraced returned to this venue when fifth of 16 in January. However, she didn't get very far at Fontwell recently and others are preferred. Veteran mare; not at best this season but has conditions to suit.
3 (3) (12/1 +0%) Moor End	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Moor End 12/1, Posted his best effort to date when second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, good to soft) on penultimate start. Slow ground perhaps wasn't ideal at Wincanton next time but his profile is somewhat up-and-down in any case. Creditable second over 2m3f in January but well held since and has stamina to prove.
9 (9) (14/1 0%) De Vega's Warrior	14 14/1(0%)	(9) De Vega's Warrior 14/1, A frustrating maiden on Flat. Promise in first-time cheekpieces when third of 11 (20.5f, Southwell) on handicap debut but let down by his hurdling at Fakenham (23.4f, good to soft) in January, Wasn't in quite the same form last time and he's opposable from a win point of view. Didn't fire last time but began handicap career with two encouraging thirds; a possible.
4 (4) (25/1 -56%) Only Gossip	25 25/1(-56%)	(4) Only Gossip 25/1, Winning pointer who left previous Rules efforts well behind in a first-time hood when third in 21.4f novice at Wincanton at the end of January. Followed that with a heavy defeat at Huntingdon, though, and needs to raise her game now handicapping. Placed at 100-1 in a maiden in January but well beaten since; handicap debut.
5 (5) (33/1 +0%) Exmoor Lad	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Exmoor Lad 33/1, Showed a bit more than on his first 2 starts in this sphere when fifth in an 11-runner maiden here (19f, good to soft) in November 2023. However, his subsequent handicap debut back here was uninspiring. Struggled when 40-1 for handicap hurdle debut here (2m3f); tries a new trip today.
8 (8) (66/1 -136%) Laddie Cooper Mia	66 66/1(-136%)	(8) Laddie Cooper Mia 66/1, Shaped like a stayer in 3 bumpers and remote second of 4 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) on hurdles bow in November. However, she found no improvement for the switch to handicap company at Southwell last time. Cheekpieces applied. Unexposed over hurdles but was soundly beaten on handicap debut; new trip/headgear here.

16:10 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Having filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings, WEAVER'S ANSWER looks ready to strike. Tim Vaughan's charge finished 37 lengths clear of the third at Lingfield last time out and a 2lb nudge up in the ratings may prove inconsequential. Skin Full arrives on the back of a close-up second at Doncaster and he is unlikely to be far away with a similar performance, while Moor End is a possible threat if judged on his narrow defeat at Warwick in January.

SKIN FULL is potentially well handicapped and an obvious choice. Ca Plane Pour Moi and Weaver's Answer are others to consider.

Preference is for CA PLANE POUR MOI, who came from a long way off the pace to take third at Doncaster last month.

16:40 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 (8) (16/1 +27%) Haafback	16 16/1(+27%)	(8) Haafback 16/1, Made a winning chase debut at Ludlow in November but well beaten both completed starts since, including on first run following a wind op returned to the aforementioned course last month. 9 lb 'wrong' at the weights and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Disappointing since 20-1 Ludlow win in November and effectively 8lb above that mark here.
5 1st (5) (11/8 +15%) Siam Park	1.375 11/8(+15%)	(5) Siam Park 11/8, Free-going sort who failed to improve for the switch to handicaps over hurdles but took a step forward when finding just one too good on his chase debut here (18.2f, soft) last month. Probably capable of better in this sphere and he's a strong candidate. Began chasing career with clear second here (2m2f) last month; only 2lb higher today.
2 2nd (2) (9/2 +55%) No But I Will	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(2) No But I Will 9/2, Fairly useful form at best over fences for previous yard and, equipped with a first-time visor (on again here), he posted much his best effort for present connections when fourth over 23f here last month. Down another 1 lb (now 10 lb below last winning mark) and this drop back in trip may help. Ran well from the front over 2m7f here last month; dropped sharply in trip today.
4 3rd (4) (15/2 -25%) Abingworth	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(4) Abingworth 15/2, Successful twice last season and there were signs that he could be working his way back to form at Windsor on penultimate start. However, he reverted to his error-strewn ways when eventually pulled up at Wincanton next time and is hard to recommend on the back of that display. Won here and at Wincanton last season but not much has gone to plan this term.
6 4th (6) (5/1 -43%) My Rockstar	5 5/1(-43%)	(6) My Rockstar 5/1, Doubled career tally when accounting for 12 rivals here (2¼, good to soft) in November. Ran no sort of a race at Exeter next time (pulled up) but then got back on track when second over this C&D. Each-way chance on that form but his overall profile is one of peaks and troughs, so there are risks. Won over 2m2f here in November and rebounded from poor run when second over C&D in January.
3 5th (3) (12/1 -33%) Jaipaletemps	12 12/1(-33%)	(3) Jaipaletemps 12/1, Won 3 claiming chases in France but low-key start for this yard in a novice hurdle here last month. Shaped a bit better returned to fences, despite finishing a well-held third, at Hereford (19f, soft) recently and since been eased 4 lb. 3-12 over fences in France but began British career with two 44l defeats last month.
7 6th (7) (40/1 -21%) Blue Ribbon	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Blue Ribbon 40/1, Fair 2m hurdles winner for Dr Richard Newland in 2021. Largely struggled for present stable, though, and he looks set for another uphill climb from 6 lb out of the handicap here. Ran okay here two starts but pulled up either side of that; 6lb wrong.
1 7th (1) (9/1 -20%) Fast Buck	9 9/1(-20%)	(1) Fast Buck 9/1, Now 17 lb lower than when striking at Wincanton last January and has made the frame on each of his last 4 starts. However, if this 11-y-o is to resume winning ways the addition of cheekpieces, which he'll be sporting for the first time over jumps, will need to help give him a boost. In the frame on last four outings but is not the force of old; cheekpieces tried today.

16:40 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

SIAM PARK shaped with promise when finishing runner-up over 2m2f here last month and, eased in trip, he gets the nod to go one place better this time around. Course winner My Rockstar was last seen finishing second over this track and trip and he must enter calculations. Fast Buck is another to consider fitted with cheekpieces for the first time.

This should go to SIAM PARK, who put in a good round of jumping when runner-up on his chase debut here last month and improvement should be forthcoming. No But I Will took a step back in the right direction over 23f here last time and he could be a threat if able to build on that now dropped back in trip, while Jaipaletemps is likely to come good for the Pipe yard before long and he is worth a second look off a reduced mark.

This looks a good opportunity for SIAM PARK (nap), who was a good second here on last month's chasing debut.

17:10 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (4/1 -33%) Albert Park	4 4/1(-33%)	(2) Albert Park 4/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish Flat maiden who has been brought along steadily over hurdles, finishing a creditable third in 16.5f Market Rasen handicap last June. Stiff track probably against him at Hexham later that month and could have a say round here if fully tuned-up following a break/wind op. Had wind surgery since last seen; interesting to see how he goes in the market.
4 1st (4) (14/1 -56%) Whatmakes Honey B	14 14/1(-56%)	(4) Whatmakes Honey B 14/1, Winless following 8 attempts in maiden points and has failed to pull up any trees a bumper and 3 runs over hurdles to date. That said she could be seen in a better light now venturing down the handicap route. Three-figure prices for four runs thus far; goes up in distance on her handicap debut.
7 2nd (7) (12/1 +52%) Sevenofus	12 12/1(+52%)	(7) Sevenofus 12/1, Still looking for first success following 21 starts overall and it's likely that she will again come up short. Course regular who does a lot of racing now over fences and remains winless.
5 3rd (5) (8/1 +43%) Mach Ten	8 8/1(+43%)	(5) Mach Ten 8/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and bettered hurdles debut display when third of 6 in a Leicester maiden in December. However, he has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, including on handicap debut last time. Not a natural but this is easier for a trainer who boasts a 4-14 record with hurdlers here.
6 4th (6) (6/4 +57%) Kintaro	1.5 6/4(+57%)	(6) Kintaro 6/4, Ten-race maiden on the Flat and record stands at 0-9 in this sphere having finished sixth in a 14-runner handicap here (3m, good to soft) on latest start in January. Still, he has shown enough to suggest that a race of this nature may well be within his grasp off a mark such as this. Longstanding maiden; the handicapper's giving him every chance; needs plenty more.
3 5th (3) (12/1 +40%) Kap De Triomphe	12 12/1(+40%)	(3) Kap De Triomphe 12/1, Fair bumper winner but yet to match that level of form in this sphere, failing to improve for the switch to handicap company on his last 2 starts. Achieved little in five runs (2m-3m1f); couldn't be considered unless there's good support.
1 6th (1) (10/3 -122%) Grenardier	3.333333 10/3(-122%)	(1) Grenardier 10/3, Little impact in a couple of bumpers but appears to be gradually getting the hang of things over hurdles, chasing home the long odds-on Vanderpoel in a Ludlow novice (15.8f, soft) last time. Improvement possible now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Slight step forward latest; has been found the ideal opening now handicapping.

17:10 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

GRENARDIER lost little in defeat when finishing runner-up over 2m at Ludlow last time out and, in what looks an ordinary affair on paper, he gets the vote to make a winning start to life in handicaps. Albert Park has the ability to feature in a race of this nature and he looks the main danger to the selection, while Kintaro is another for the shortlist.

KINTARO probably found 3m too much of a test last time and is better judged on his C&D effort in November. He was in the process of running creditably when departing at the second-last here on that occasion and is now 7 lb lower in the weights. Handicap debutant Grenardier appears to be gradually finding his feet and rates the main danger ahead of another contesting a handicap for the first time, namely Whatmakes Honey B.

It's unlikely handicap newcomer GRENARDIER will be found a better opening. Mach Ten also has a bit of potential.
