Race 1 – Taunton Racecourse
IBERIO kicked things off with a bang when victorious over C&D sporting first-time cheekpieces on handicap bow. A 5lb rise is fairly lenient and he looks capable of another leap forward. NOVUS ADITUS opened the account over C&D and is dangerous off the same mark and now allowed Kieren Buckley’s full 5lb claim.

GROOM D’DOUDAIRIES is 6lb well-in as he lines up for compensation after going down by ½ a length huge 50/1 odds over a couple of furlongs further at Ludlow. He looks hard to beat and is most deserving of a maiden win. DON ALVARO has found the frame the last thrice and has sharpened plenty for the fitting of a tongue-tie so must enter the equation for Paul Nicholls.

One to consider – DON ALVARO (1)
Race 3 – Taunton Racecourse
BENANGONE was a fantastic 3rd at Wincanton at ridiculous 200/1 odds on just 2nd start over timber. He’s likely to be taken much more seriously in the betting and could build on that nicely now afforded even more run. SOUTH MOUNTAIN was a place back in 4th that day and looks quite capable of offering plenty of resistance.

STRAIGHT SWAP gets a nod on first run over fences after a mixed bag of results over timber. Recent wind surgery has aided his cause and he could make a smooth transition to larger obstacles. LARKBARROW LAD is respected for Philip Hobbs who trained the winner of this last year. He has found the frame the last twice and can pick up the pieces if the selection doesn’t transition well.
Top Tip – STRAIGHT SWAP (2)

Race 5 – Taunton Racecourse
MONEY SPINNER unlocked huge improvement when 3rd after being upped in trip at Bangor-on-Dee last month and another up in yardage could see him take the final step toward an open account. The form has been franked since and he looks the one to beat. RIDEAU CANAL is capable of throwing a spanner in the works as he improves with each run for Alan King.

Race 6 – Taunton Racecourse
GRAND TURINA is in good shape of late, landing a double in late 2021 and not being disgraced in 3rd the last twice. She’s past her prime at 11 but clearly has some tricks up her sleeve for the in-form Venetia Williams outfit. MOLLY CAREW caught the eye in 3rd over C&D latest and a 3lb drop could see Neil Mulholland’s mare throw down the gauntlet.
Top Tip – GRAND TURINA (1)
One to consider – MOLLY CAREW (4)
Race 7 – Taunton Racecourse
ROBIOLA showed plenty to work with when 4th on debut at Huntingdon and built on it nicely when 2nd at Ludlow. Now upped in trip once more Alan King’s gelding looks quite capable of making it 3rd time lucky. DOLLAR BAE is a winner between the flags who also made a winning rules/yard debut for Jonjo O’Neill at Wincanton a month ago. She’s likely to prove popular but will do well to concede a huge 9lb to the selection.
Top Tip – ROBIOLA (10)
One to consider – DOLLAR BAE (1)
