Taunton Race 5 - Arthur & Peggy White Memorial Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY (3) has maintained good form for quite some time. Went well when a beaten favourite four weeks ago at Exeter and though this is a stiffer test holds winning form here on soft ground and therefore is the one to beat. BRAVE KINGDOM (1) is talented on his going days but equally fragile. More than good enough to capitalise on his falling rating and worth giving close consideration. ROYAL JEWEL (2) tends to run his best races at Exeter. It's uncertain as to whether this stiff test will be what's required. Best watched. BUCKSY DES EPEIRES (4) performed below expectations last time. Revival needed.

Useful type. Freshened for 38 days. Last outing finished third of 7 runners at Chepstow on December 27 over 3900m, 9 len behind Lunar Discovery carrying 73.5kg at $9. Run before ran last in a small field at Exeter on December 5 over 3800m, 40 len behind U Cant Be Serious with 72kg at $4.50. Continues to make headway. Likely to figure in the outcome.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming came from midfield; finished fourth of 7 runners at Fontwell Park on October 26 over 3900m, 12 len behind Twinjets carrying 69.5kg at $2.60. Second-up finished fourth in a small field at Lingfield on December 21 over 4400m, 26 len behind Dartmoor Pirate with 71kg at $3. Rates well. Solid latest and rates one of the chances in this line-up.

Last outing pulled up at Newbury on January 14 over 4700m. Start before finished second of 7 runners at Hereford on December 10 over 5040m, 4.5 len behind Golan Loop with 71.5kg at $7.50. Take on trust. Hard to recommend this time.
