15:00 Taunton

With two promising efforts over fences so far I think this looks a good opportunity for GIVE US A SWIG (best price 3/1) to open his account in this sphere. He did well to finish as close as he did last time given the mistakes he made and if he brushes up his jumping here he looks well handicapped off a mark of 88. This longer trip should suit and this looks easier than the company he has been facing recently. The Boat justified strong support to make the breakthrough at Market Rasen but the first-time cheekpieces looked a catalyst for improvement and they are not certain to work again up 2lb. I’d also doubt his stamina over this longer trip which makes him opposable. Eaton Miller looks the danger but he fell when last seen at Wetherby and has enough to prove himself on return against the selection.
