UK Horse Racing Tips: Taunton

ASK ME ANOTHER finished 17 lengths clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot on her seasonal return at Huntingdon last month and only has a 1lb higher mark to contend with today. Robbie Llewellyn's five-year-old might only need to reproduce that effort in order to go one better. Don't Tell Rosie showed more when fourth over an extended 2m here on her latest outing and she could prove a different proposition now that she tackles the handicap ranks. Of the remainder, Lady Showtime makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Ask Me Another 2nd Dont Tell Rosie 3rd Lady Showtime

Blacksamssenorita failed to justify favouritism when only finishing third at Exeter in November, but she might be worth another chance on only her second start over hurdles. However, the vote goes to CORNISH STORM, who split a pair of subsequent winners when hitting the woodwork over C&D in February last year. The six-year-old had a recent spin on the Flat to blow the cobwebs away, finishing third at Kempton, and looks primed to strike. Runner-up over hurdles in France last summer, any market support Zaochen Enki on his UK debut should be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Cornish Storm 2nd Blacksamssenorita 3rd Zaochen Enki

DUFFRY TRIXS outran his odds of 66/1 when occupying the runner-up berth at Plumpton last month and he could improvement plenty for that introduction to hurdles. If the six-year-old can build on that performance, then he may be the one to beat. The Final Word showed promise when making the frame over C&D on his hurdles debut and could have a say, while Maximum Offers is another to consider after his third-placed effort at Carlisle.
Prediction : 1st Duffry Trixs 2nd The Final Word 3rd Maximum Offers

Last month's C&D winner Safe Destination must enter the reckoning in his current heart and a hat-trick would come as no surprise. However, a 6lb rise in the ratings does demands another career-best performance from the seven-year-old and EXMOOR FOREST is a shade more compelling. Nigel Hawke's charge only faltered in the closing stages when a close third over 3m at Doncaster 25 days ago and today's 2m7f distance could prove more suitable. Last-time-out winner Camulus can also make his presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Exmoor Forest 2nd Safe Destination 3rd Camulus

AURIGNY MILL justified strong support in the market when regaining the winning thread in a class 2 event here last month. Despite the eight-year-old being 4lb higher in the ratings now, he makes plenty of appeal reverting to class 3 company and a sixth career victory may be on the horizon. Liari arrives on the back of a weakening third over 2m4f at Musselburgh and Paul Nicholls' gelding is feared most reverting to 2m, ahead of Luttrell Lad.
Prediction : 1st Aurigny Mill 2nd Liari 3rd Luttrell Lad

SHEARER came home in splendid isolation on his comeback to complete a hat-trick at Ffos Las 12 days ago and the nine-year-old clearly retains plenty of ability. Although a quick turnaround after that return from a 601-day absence is a concern, the son of Flemensfirth holds outstanding claims again. Reopposing rival Acey Milan unseated his rider at the opening fence on that occasion, but he's could serve the most resistance to the selection if over that mishap. Haven't Time is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Shearer 2nd Acey Milan 3rd Havent Time
