Charming Getaway (5/2), Entity Of Substanz (4/1), Passing Pleasure (9/2), Brockarno (11/2), Churchman (9/1), Hellfire Princess (11/1), Tom Taggle (11/1), Pottlerath (20/1), Bits N Pieces (25/1)

A competitive race. The market strength behind TOM TAGGLE at Taunton suggests connections think he's on a good mark and he might be worth another chance to prove it with the longer trip this afternoon expected to play to his strengths. Last month's Doncaster 1-2 Brockarno and Charming Getaway head the dangers along with Hellfire Princess. Passing Pleasure is also a possible now handicapping.
