UK Horse Racing Tips: Taunton

Harry Fry's MILLE SUSSURRI returned to form with a creditable third over 2m1f at Exeter last time out and is expected to build on that effort and take closer order. Finisher rattled the crossbar at Wincanton when last sighted and could benefit from the fitting of first-time cheekpieces, while any money for Tim Vaughan's new recruit Caffe Macchiato, who has winning form on the Flat in France, would be notable.
Prediction : 1st Mille Sussurri 2nd Finisher 3rd Caffe Macchiato

MUCKAMORE attracted market support when second at Ludlow in a 3m maiden hurdle last time and it could be that he can go one better now dropping back to this shorter trip. The main danger may be Vinnie's Getaway, a bumper winner who could be all the wiser for the experience gained on his hurdles bow at Stratford last time, while Tuscan Pearl can build on her Huntingdon third earlier in the month and land the bronze medal.
Prediction : 1st Muckamore 2nd Vinnies Getaway 3rd Tuscan Pearl

DESQUE DE L'ISLE arrives with a point to prove after finishing down the field at Lingfield earlier in the year, but the seven-year-old has been located a weak race here and the handicapper has dropped him 5lb. Venetia Williams' charge should also appreciate this step up in trip and may prove too strong for Hollywood Ken, who finished third at Warwick when last seen and isn't badly treated on the pick of his old form. This Breac can prove best of the modest remainder.
Prediction : 1st Desque De LIsle 2nd Hollywood Ken 3rd This Breac

It is no great surprise to see PLAYA BLANCA turned out quickly after his Market Rasen triumph on Sunday, and a 7lb penalty might not be enough to prevent the five-year-old from claiming a hat-trick. Shrewdly placed by Seamus Mullins, he won't mind this step up in distance and is preferred to Stage Summit, who put in a much-improved effort when third on stable debut for Jackie Du Plessis earlier this month. Dalaman should be staying on stoutly late in the day and can take third.
Prediction : 1st Playa Blanca 2nd Stage Summit 3rd Dalaman

PUTDECASHONTHEDASH claimed a much deserved first victory over fences at Wincanton recently and, although a 10lb hike in the ratings will obviously make life a lot tougher, he is fancied to complete the double. Flying Verse failed to fire at Doncaster last time but his two previous efforts had been promising, winning and finishing third off a 1lb lower mark. He possibly deserves another chance, while dual course winner Adherence is no forlorn hope either.
Prediction : 1st Putdecashonthedash 2nd Flying Verse 3rd Adherence

FAIR KATE has won and placed in two previous starts under Richard Johnson and with the champion jockey aboard once more, she looks like the one they all have to beat. She certainly wasn't disgraced when sixth at Kempton last time and a 2lb drop in the ratings gives her a real chance. Ambion Hill drops in both class and trip after struggling at Sandown and a much better performance is expected, while the returning Voodoo Doll also has a squeak.
Prediction : 1st Fair Kate 2nd Ambion Hill 3rd Voodoo Doll
