UK Horse Racing Tips: Taunton

RED N YELLOW has shown a lot of promise in finishing second in both his previous starts and won't need much of a step forward to get off the mark at just the third time of asking. Sherminator has form that ties in with the selection but a 7lb penalty for his Newbury success could be his undoing here. Good For You was a good second in a maiden at Wincanton last month and can also figure with another step forward.
Prediction : 1st Red N Yellow 2nd Sherminator 3rd Good For You

High Fibre and FASOL appear to be the pair to focus on, with the latter readily preferred as he drops in class for his first run since undergoing wind surgery. Paul Nicholls has won two of the last six renewals and appears to have plotted an ideal opportunity for the son of Galileo to strike. High Fibre has speed from the Flat and can give the selection plenty to think about on just his fourth hurdles start. Disguisedlimit and point-to-point winner Ted The Thief are other notable options.
Prediction : 1st Fasol 2nd High Fibre 3rd Disguisedlimit

DIRTY DEN has been well supported on his last two starts and although coming up short on both occasions, this appears to be the ideal opportunity to gain a first success over timber. With the trip and ground ideal, first-time cheekpieces could provide the son of Dragon Dancer with the missing ingredient. Renoir has a very similar profile and is another attractive proposition on just his third start in this discipline. The stable companions Baseline and Sunninghill are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Dirty Den 2nd Renoir 3rd Baseline

The combination of a longer trip and first-time blinkers proved just the trick for last month's 3m5f Bangor winner LASKALIN and there may be more to come. A 7lb higher rating looks workable for Venetia Williams' veteran and an eighth career victory could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Inis Oirr, who is racing off an attractive mark, while a 2lb nudge up in the ratings shouldn't prevent Lingfield runner-up Bells Of Peterboro going well again either.
Prediction : 1st Laskalin 2nd Inis Oirr 3rd Bells Of Peterboro

Having filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings, WEAVER'S ANSWER looks ready to strike. Tim Vaughan's charge finished 37 lengths clear of the third at Lingfield last time out and a 2lb nudge up in the ratings may prove inconsequential. Skin Full arrives on the back of a close-up second at Doncaster and he is unlikely to be far away with a similar performance, while Moor End is a possible threat if judged on his narrow defeat at Warwick in January.
Prediction : 1st Weavers Answer 2nd Skin Full 3rd Moor End

SIAM PARK shaped with promise when finishing runner-up over 2m2f here last month and, eased in trip, he gets the nod to go one place better this time around. Course winner My Rockstar was last seen finishing second over this track and trip and he must enter calculations. Fast Buck is another to consider fitted with cheekpieces for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Siam Park 2nd My Rockstar 3rd Fast Buck

GRENARDIER lost little in defeat when finishing runner-up over 2m at Ludlow last time out and, in what looks an ordinary affair on paper, he gets the vote to make a winning start to life in handicaps. Albert Park has the ability to feature in a race of this nature and he looks the main danger to the selection, while Kintaro is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Grenardier 2nd Albert Park 3rd Kintaro
