1st (1) Dance And Glance (10/3 -48%)
Dance And Glance

3.333333
10/3(-48%)
(1) Dance And Glance 10/3, Plumpton bumper winner who took a thin 2m maiden hurdle at Southwell in November and ran well in defeat in a much stronger event over C&D next time. Disappointed upped to a trip he should stay at Catterick on most recent outing but could get back on track after a break/breathing operation.
Finished tired on soft ground last time but autumn form suggests he can pose a threat.

2nd (2) Fasol (1/5 +55%)
Fasol

1/5(+55%)
(2) Fasol 1/5, A useful winning stayer on the Flat in France. Still to match that form over hurdles but back on track when winning 14-runner maiden over C&D 15 days ago, bit in hand. Excellent opportunity under a penalty.
Readily won C&D maiden a fortnight ago and has very good chance to double up today.

3rd (5) Graecia (16/1 -33%)
Graecia

16/1(-33%)
(5) Graecia 16/1, Fairly useful 7f winner on the Flat for John Butler. Changed hands for 18,000 gns and hinted at promise when a hard-pulling fourth of 11 on her hurdling bow in 2m Hereford juvenile. However, went backwards from that when pulled up at Huntingdon since.
Fair on the Flat; made quite encouraging hurdle debut last month but pulled up since.

14:35 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Wind surgery appeared to work the oracle for FASOL, who opened his hurdling account in fine style over C&D recently. Paul Nicholls' gelding wouldn't need much improvement to defy the penalty, with fellow penalised rival Dance And Glance needing to show more than he has recently. Graecia receives weight all round and might be best placed to follow the pair home.

This looks a good opportunity for FASOL, who admittedly is yet to match his useful Flat form in this sphere, but did open his hurdling account with a bit up his sleeve over C&D on his most recent outing. Dance And Glance is the obvious threat.

Former smart Flat racer FASOL came good over hurdles with a convincing C&D success a fortnight ago and can double up today.

Elusiveness

2/1(+40%)
(5) Elusiveness 2/1, Best effort last term came when second in good-ground handicap at Exeter (18.5f) and ran to similar level when fifth at Ffos Las in November. Not been in quite same form since but must enter calculations in first-time blinkers here.
Only fifth when heavily backed last time and now 0-8 over hurdles; new headgear today.

(6) Ellie's Warrior 9/1, Beaten a fair way both starts in bumpers and similar story in 4 attempts over timber, latest when third of 5 on handicap bow at Plumpton (25f, soft) 57 days ago. Others preferred.
Still unexposed, but was well held when third of five on handicap debut in January.

(10) Sawpit Samantha 11/1, Made encouraging start for new connections when third of 11 in Plumpton handicap hurdle (20.5f) in December. Well held over shorter trips since but could be seen in a better light here. 2 lb out of the weights,
Placed over 2m4f on seasonal/stable debut but two lesser efforts over 2m have followed.

Ma Belle Noire

12
12/1(-140%)
(2) Ma Belle Noire 12/1, Tail flasher but won 3 times in this sphere in 2023. Been lightly raced and disappointing since, latest over fences at Ascot in December, but drops in grade here and can't be ruled out.
Has conditions to suit here but has been pulled up twice since returning from a break.

(7) Sevenofus 7/1, Yet to score but returned to form when good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at this course (19f, good, 12/1) 15 days ago and remains on a workable mark. 1 lb out of the weights.
Inconsistent and is 0-22 under rules but ran well in defeat here (2m3f) this month.

6th (1) Chosen Hero (12/1 +33%)
Chosen Hero

12
12/1(+33%)
(1) Chosen Hero 12/1, 2m novice hurdle winner on heavy last winter and matched that form when third in Sedgefield handicap hurdle on reappearance. Not been in same form since, though, and is now tried in first-time blinkers.
Close third on seasonal debut in October but out of form over fences and hurdles since.

Banny Hill Lass

9/1(+10%)
(8) Banny Hill Lass 9/1, Down the field in bumpers and has fared no better in 3 starts over hurdles this season. Has found weak race to start handicapping, though, and is worth a second look in the market. 1 lb out of the weights.
Ran well to a point in her latest qualifying race and has a lowly opening handicap mark.

(3) Mattie Ross 15/2, Gained reward for some creditable efforts last season when winning Market Rasen handicap (23.1f) in June. Made little impact in a trio of starts since but has been cut some slack by the assessor and does operate on a sound surface.
Clear winner at Market Rasen last June but seems to have lost her way since.

Pulled up in first three handicaps and very difficult to enthuse over.

15:05 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Although winless over hurdles so far, SEVENOFUS finished a promising second over 2m3f here last time out. A return to three miles could suit the mare on that evidence and although 1lb out of the handicap, Elizabeth Gale is able to claim 7lb. Ellie's Warrior has few miles on the clock and the addition of first-time cheekpieces could elicit some improvement. Others to note include Chosen Hero and Elusiveness.

The addition of blinkers may be the key to ELUSIVENESS and she gets the nod in a race where few make much appeal. Sevenofus and Sawpit Samantha may provide the chief threat.

It might be worth chancing handicap debutante BANNY HILL LASS, who ran well to a point in her latest qualifying race.

1st (14) Mr Zee (9/2 +55%)
Mr Zee

4.5
9/2(+55%)
(14) Mr Zee 9/2, Multiple Flat winner who remains without a success following a dozen attempts in this sphere but he has made the frame on 4 of his last 5 starts, including when third of 12 over 19f here (soft) last time, faring best of those held up. Place possibilities off the same mark.
In good form, third here last month; he's well in the mix off the same mark.
2
3
2nd (3) Zucayan (7/2 +13%)
Zucayan

3.5
7/2(+13%)
(3) Zucayan 7/2, Gained latest of his 2 wins at Ludlow off this mark in May 2023 and, though without luck since, he has strongly hinted that his turn is again near with solid placed efforts here and back at Ludlow since returning from a break last month. Big chance.
Caught the eye when third at Ludlow latest, set plenty to do; form franked so a big shout.
3
9
3rd (9) Taritino (5/1 +50%)
Taritino

5
5/1(+50%)
(9) Taritino 5/1, Fair winner on the Flat and posted one of his better efforts in this sphere when beaten less than 3 lengths into fifth in a 7-runner C&D handicap (good) last time. Down another 2 lb and he's one to consider.
Back on track with a C&D fifth 15 days ago; very much one to consider off a 2lb lower mark.
4
11
4th (11) Opticality (22/1 -83%)
Opticality

22
22/1(-83%)
(11) Opticality 22/1, Ran creditably in a couple of appearances here last season and was successful on the Flat last March. Has also posted some decent efforts on the level for present yard and she's not discounted back hurdling off a reduced mark.
Beat only one when last seen in this sphere at Fontwell last April; has a bit to prove.
5th
10
5th (10) Bruce Gobbler (14/1 +58%)
Bruce Gobbler

14
14/1(+58%)
(10) Bruce Gobbler 14/1, Little worthwhile form the Philip Hobbs & Johnson White and while he was successful between the flags last spring, there were few positives to take from his debut display for this yard here in January.
Below-par seventh for his new yard in 2m3f handicap here in January; plenty more required.
6th
6
6th (6) John Betjeman (15/2 -88%)
John Betjeman

7.5
15/2(-88%)
(6) John Betjeman 15/2, Has slipped to a dangerous mark and left the impression that he may soon snap his losing run when finding just one too good with blinkers refitted at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) earlier this month. 3 lb rise fair (pulled clear of the third that day) and he has to enter calculations.
Back to form when second at Wincanton 19 days ago; up 3lb but he ought to be thereabouts.
7th
5
7th (5) Jim De Sarti (9/1 -125%)
Jim De Sarti

9
9/1(-125%)
(5) Jim De Sarti 9/1, Bumper winner in France and sold quite cheaply from Nicky Henderson's yard after showing some promise on hurdles debut. Turned in easily best effort for this yard when runner-up at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) in January. Unseated early next time but should be in the mix granted a clear round here.
Runner-up at Sedgefield before unseated rider early at Huntingdon; can't be discounted.
8th

8th (7) Bigz Belief (8/1 +20%)
Bigz Belief

8
8/1(+20%)
(7) Bigz Belief 8/1, Modest strike rate but has dropped to an attractive mark and returned to form with headgear omitted when third of 11 at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) recently. Place possibilities.
Solid third in 1m7f Wincanton handicap 19 days ago; on a long losing run but shortlisted.
9th
13
9th (13) Prince Rhinegold (16/1 +52%)
Prince Rhinegold

16
16/1(+52%)
(13) Prince Rhinegold 16/1, Exeter novice winner in 2023 and best effort since when third of 7 in a Wincanton handicap in November. However, he failed to back that up returned to the same course on his latest start on Boxing Day and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
Winless since early 2023 and tenth at Wincanton on Boxing Day; easy to look elsewhere.
10th

10th (4) Begin The Luck (9/1 -13%)
Begin The Luck

9
9/1(-13%)
(4) Begin The Luck 9/1, Deservedly got his head back in front when capitalising on a lower hurdles mark at Stratford (18.7f, heavy) in October. Largely creditable efforts in defeat since, coming home 11 lengths third to Ideallko (has won twice again since) at Warwick when last seen on New Year's Eve. Each-way claims.
In good nick over fences, third at Warwick in December; much respected back in this sphere.
11th
1
11th (1) Us And Them (100/1 -52%)
Us And Them

100
100/1(-52%)
(1) Us And Them 100/1, Smart handicap chaser at best but long time since he got his head in front and failed to shine in various events for Alan Jones. No both starts for present yard and this 12-y-o looks set for another struggle.
Winless since 2018 and pulled up in 2m3f Warwick handicap hurdle last month.
12th
8
12th (8) Force De Frap (33/1 -32%)
Force De Frap

33
33/1(-32%)
(8) Force De Frap 33/1, On a good mark judged on peak form but he's hard to warm to judged on recent evidence.
C&D winner but pulled up on his last two starts, latest in 2m4f Bangor handicap hurdle.
13th
2
13th (2) Pate Mollee (40/1 -233%)
Pate Mollee

40
40/1(-233%)
(2) Pate Mollee 40/1, Fair form over hurdles in France (claimed from David Cottin for €10,556) but it was a very low-key start for present connections at Wetherby where he was treading water some way out and eventually pulled up.
Pulled up on yard debut at Wetherby last month; needs to take step forward now h'capping.

12
|PU| (12) Janespriceless (66/1 -100%)
Janespriceless

66
66/1(-100%)
(12) Janespriceless 66/1, Failed to complete both starts in points and she hasn't pulled up any trees in 4 starts over hurdles to date.
Very lightly raced hurdler has yet to offer much; she's hard to make a case for.

15:35 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

JIM DE SARTI hit the woodwork at Sedgefield in January before unseating early on at Huntingdon last month. There should be more to come from Tom Lacey's unexposed hurdler and, if able to put in an unblemished round of jumping, he ought to go very close. Zucayan has been knocking at the door recently and is unlikely to be far away, while John Betjeman is also noted.

The pick of several plausible candidates could prove to be ZUCAYAN, who has shown himself to be in good nick by finishing third in handicaps here and at Ludlow since returning to action last month. Taritino left the impression that he's getting the hang of things in this sphere over C&D recently and will be a threat if able to build on that. A reproduction of John Betjeman's latest effort will see him competitive, too, while Begin The Luck, Jim De Sarti and Mr Zee all make each-way appeal.

This looks a good opportunity for Fergal O'Brien's ZUCAYAN (nap) to build on his promising Ludlow third and resume winning ways

(4) Time To Bite 10/3, Back to something like best form when easily landing 6-runner handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, good) 7 days ago. Carries 7 lb penalty here but that may not prevent the follow-up.
Suddenly returned to form with comfortable win from the front at Exeter a week ago.

Back in good nick when second here in first-time blinkers last month; respected.

Made all for unchallenged C&D win last month and is now 2-5 since switched to fences.

Dual C&D winner this season, latterly over C&D; on fairly tough mark but can go well again.

16:05 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

A switch to aggressive tactics proved just the trick for EDE'IFFS ROCK when making all over C&D 26 days ago. Given the manner of that victory, a 5lb rise in the ratings looks on the lenient side and Bill Turner's mare is fancied to follow up. Having capitalised on a declining mark over 2m3f at Exeter recently, Time To Bite warrants respect. However, the veteran has yet to convince with stamina over this far and a bigger threat may emerge from Gyenyame.

Slight preference is for GYENYAME, who responded well to the fitting of blinkers here last month and will surely be suited by this stiffer test of stamina. Last week's Exeter winner Time To Bite is feared most.

Still well treated under a penalty, TIME TO BITE looked back in prime form when winning comfortably at Exeter a week ago

Don't Wind Me Up

4
4/1(+20%)
(3) Don't Wind Me Up 4/1, Steady improvement when finishing third in 3 maiden/novice hurdles. An SP of 5/4 suggests he was strongly fancied to make a winning start to his handicap career at Sandown in January but he finished a remote fifth. It'll be interesting to see whether his supporters' return.
Looked likely handicap prospect but it didn't come off at Sandown; bred to appreciate 2m3f.

(6) Through The Ages 2/1, Dual hurdles winner last season (both when making the running) and back to that sort of form when runner-up over 2m at Lingfield (soft/heavy) on his last 2 outings. Obvious claims, particularly if first-time cheekpieces give him just a little extra.
Solid handicap form at 2m latest; needs to prove 2m3f suits; cheekpieces fitted.

Ready C&D winner (good) in December; up 4lb; has potential at trip; has gone well fresh.

Won 2-4 over hurdles for this yard, kept on well over 2m2f latest; up 5lb in stronger race.

All seven hurdle wins at Newton Abbot; likely to find easier opportunities back there.

16:35 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

A rise in trip brought the best out of HIM MALAYA when landing the spoils in a class 3 event over C&D in December. A 103-day break is unlikely to prevent another bold display from Paul Nicholls' six-year-old and, off only 4lb higher, there should be more to come. Gary & Josh Moore have their string in fine order and Through The Ages must enter the reckoning after filling the runner-up spot at Lingfield on two occasions last month. Chicago Storm is unlikely to be far away either.

THROUGH THE AGES has been knocking at the door lately and is taken to come good again with cheekpieces added. Last-time-out C&D scorer Him Malaya is feared most ahead of the thriving Chicago Storm.

A few to consider but HIM MALAYA was suited by these conditions when a convincing C&D winner in December and he can go on from that.

(2) Bobbi's Beauty 11/4, Much improved dropped back to 2m when doubling chase tally at Lingfield in December. Disappointed next 2 starts but she needs considering in this field.
Two wins from first 4 chase starts; has found disappointingly little on last two starts.

Minor Irish point win; hint of ability over hurdles in Britain; now goes handicap/chasing.

(5) Poet's Reflection 7/1, Just the one win from 26 NH runs. Failed to fire last season and returning from 11 months off here. Handicapper has at least given her a chance.
Has C&D form after a layoff but she has it to prove back from another absence.

17:05 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Bobbi's Beauty was well beaten into third at Leicester last time, but goes off a 2lb lower mark and could get closer with Sean Bowen booked. Even so, MISS FEDORA makes more appeal. Seamus Mullins' mare stopped quickly when fifth at Lingfield, but she may be better judged on her success at Plumpton prior. If she can reproduce that level of form, she will prove hard to beat. Kate Of The Lodge completes the shortlist.

Irish point winner KATE OF THE LODGE catches the eye switched to chasing for this handicap debut so could be worth chancing in a weak race. Bobbi's Beauty is feared most.

Bobbi's Beauty and Miss Fedora both have claims but it could be worth chancing KATE OF THE LODGE on her handicap/chase debut.

Act Of Innocence

0.5
1/2(+64%)
(2) Act Of Innocence 1/2, Placed in a valuable 25-runner Punchestown bumper on debut last spring (for Gearoid O'Loughlin) and shaped well again when 4 lengths fourth of 11 in listed bumper at Newbury (soft) on return for new connections in February. Sets a good standard for the rest to aim at.
Made the frame in very competitive races on first two outings; hard to beat here.

(5) Soul Limbo 15/2, Stable boasts a good record in this sphere but he didn't achieve much when a well-held fourth on his Chepstow debut in October. Off since.
9-2, well held when fourth on Chepstow debut but positives can be drawn from that run.

(7) Bob Bishop 12/1, €19,000 Milan gelding. Dam unraced. The betting should help guide to expectations.
19,000euros 3yo; dam unraced half-sister to a point winner; probably best watched on debut.

(4) Snatch A Glance 6/1, Passing Glance gelding. Dam (h122) bumper/21f hurdle winner (stayed 23f). From a good stable and has a decent pedigree for a race like this. Check the betting.
First foal from a bumper/useful hurdle winner; has tough standard to reach on debut.

(9) Josh Central 11/1, Joshua Tree gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Tip Top Mountain. Stable has been among the bumper winners so he'd need considering if the betting vibes are strong.
Stable has done well in bumpers this season but this newcomer faces a tough assignment.

25/1(-108%)
(3) Idaho Bridge 25/1, 14/1, raced too keenly when sixth of 11 in bumper at Exeter (heavy) on debut 32 days ago. May do better if the addition of a hood helps him to settle.
Made just a mildly encouraging debut last month but may fare better on this faster ground.

(8) Field Of Aces 16/1, Scalo gelding. Half-brother to fair 17f hurdle winner Solomoon. Dam (h111), lightly raced over hurdles in France, 1½m/12.5f winner on Flat. The stable gets bumper winners. One to note in the betting.
Out of a French Listed Flat winner; worth a glance in the betting.

17:35 Taunton NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Point-to-point winner SINCHI ROCA readily took care of his five rivals to make an instant impression over track and trip last month and is likely to have lots more to offer. The son of Getaway has Callum Pritchard claiming a handy 5lb to help negate his penalty for that success and he will prove tough to stop. Act Of Innocence lost two places towards the finish when fourth in a Listed event at Newbury and looks the obvious danger. Soul Limbo is another to watch out for.

ACT OF INNOCENCE has reached the frame in 2 strong bumpers and should take a bit of stopping with his sights lowered. Sinchi Roca created a good impression when quickening up nicely to score over C&D last month and is the one likely to give the selection most to do unless the betting speaks in the favour of one or more of the newcomers.

It's hard to get away from ACT OF INNOCENCE, who drops in grade after making the frame in two strong races.

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.
