Taunton Race 1 - Taunton Half Year Membership Available Today Ebf 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle (Gbb Race)
The French bred JUST A ROSE (11) caught the eye when successful in a 4000m point-to-point December 2023. Represents a top yard. Likely player first up. NOAHSGREATRAINBOW (6) showed promise last season including a good second in a 3200m Listed jumpers flat race at Newbury. Disappointing on hurdle debut finishing last of eight at Sandown. Progress expected. ROMAN ROY (7) ran well two months back finishing runner-up contesting a 4200m novices hurdle at Plumpton. Claims. STONE'S THROW (9) could feature.

Having second run back today. Not raced for 61 days. Fresh up after six months finished second in a small field at Exeter 4-5yo HUNT FLAT (C5) on November 18 over 3300m, 14 len behind Maldini Milano with 67.5kg at $3.30. Previously second-up didn't finish the race at Borris House P2p 5yo P2P MDN on April 28 over 4800m. Appeals back over the jumps and is among the each-way hopes.
