UK Horse Racing Tips: Taunton

CHANKAYA could only manage sixth on his chasing debut over 2m4f at Wincanton in December after making a few jumping errors, but he has been eased 3lb since and, with that experience under his belt, he may be able to improve on that performance to land what looks a winnable contest. Imperial Measure warrants respect on his debut over the larger obstacles, while winning point-to-pointer Citizen Jane is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Chankaya 2nd Imperial Measure 3rd Citizen Jane

It's hard to look past useful Flat performer GOLDEN MOVE, who represents the in-form Paul Nicholls team and the son of Golden Horn can show his rivals the way home on his hurdling debut. Cornish Storm quickly made up for being pulled up over this C&D last month by posting an excellent second at huge odds over 1m7f at Wincanton four days later, and he merits respect with that experience under his belt. Solar System remains open to improvement after showing some encouragement on his latest outing in May last year and he could make the frame, provided he is fully tuned up for his return.
Prediction : 1st Golden Move 2nd Cornish Storm 3rd Solar System

The suspicion is that point-to-point winner LUBEAT FORAS has yet to show his true colours under Rules, despite some flashes of ability, but he has slipped to an attractive mark and, with the booking of Harry Cobden catching the eye, it may pay to side with Rebecca Curtis' charge to outrun his forecast odds. Airtothethrone showed up well for a long way before coming down three out at Lingfield most recently and, off an unchanged mark, the C&D winner can give the selection most to think about. The class-dropping Enjoy Your Life should be thereabouts at the line in these calmer waters.
Prediction : 1st Lubeat Foras 2nd Airtothethrone 3rd Enjoy Your Life

INTO THE PARK was an impressive winner of a maiden hurdle over 2m at Newbury last month and that performance suggests an opening mark of 120 may underestimate him on his handicap bow. Inca De Lafayette is an obvious threat to the selection, having won two of his last three starts, while Vicki Vale and Wild Max are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Into The Park 2nd Inca De Lafayette 3rd Vicki Vale

Plenty of promise could be taken from LALOR's second at Wincanton at the beginning of the month, given that was his first start in 670 days, and the veteran could be hard to beat with the benefit of that outing. Lieutenant Rocco has to be of interest now switched to this sphere, while multiple point-to-point winner Macklin also makes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lalor 2nd Lieutenant Rocco 3rd Macklin

It is very hard to oppose LADY BALKO, who bolted up by 19 lengths over an extended 2m5f at Hereford last week and only has to carry a 7lb penalty here. Ginderella filled the runner-up spot at Uttoxeter on her most recent outing and could do so once again if the selection runs to form. Cooleenymore remains a maiden but is more than capable of picking up some minor money.
Prediction : 1st Lady Balko 2nd Ginderella 3rd Cooleenymore
