TIMBERMAN (3.40) can cut his rivals down to size for Fergal O’Brien in the Weatherbys Hurdle at Taunton.
The gelding looked better than ever when hacking up from Paso Doble at Kempton in November.
There is plenty more to come from this pacey type who can shrug off an 8lb penalty after a break.
HONESTLYNTRUFULLY (1.20) looks the real deal in the conditionals’ handicap hurdle.
Phillip Hobbs’ horse left some tepid efforts behind when second to Global Wonder at Plumpton.
The gelding was staying-on very strongly so he can maintain his trainer’s excellent run over 2m 4f.
Jane Williams is also in top form so I’m on ESPRIT DE SOMOZA (3.05 ) in the handicap chase.
The eight-year-old stayed on track over fences with a good third to Native Robin at Wincanton.
The gelding was doing all his best work late so he can triumph over today’s extra three furlongs.
SIENNA ROYALE (4.50) can reign for thriving Jeremy Scott in the mares’ handicap hurdle.
The eight-year-old ran another stormer when giving Raddon Top
most resistance at Exeter.
That race is working out well so this likeable type can take full advantage of an inviting mark.
LOUIS TREIZE (5.00) can extend Rebecca Menzies’ winning run on the Southwell all-weather.
The sprinter still lurks on a workable mark after chinning Papas Girl
over course and distance.
The Durham handler can add the staying handicap to her tally with BATOCCHI (6.30 ).
The four-year-old completed a hat-trick with a game defeat of Maharashtra over 1m 4f here.
The gelding definitely wasn’t stopping at the business end so he can make it four upped in trip.
Kevin Ryan is hitting top gear so I’m backing DIGITAL (6.00 ) in the feature sprint handicap.
The gelding was a fine third to the talented Tommy de Vito on his return over six furlongs here.
The four-year-old should be primed so he can regain the winning thread back down in trip.
Andrew Balding is also enjoying a decent spell so I’m siding with GRIFFIN PARK (7.00 ).
The colt rates a sure-fire improver in handicaps after cosily dismissing Dark Enchantment here.
