Taunton Race 4 - Dragonbet The Roar Before Cheltenham Dragonboosts Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

KAP VERT (3) was a convincing winner over course and distance three starts back. Held his form among decent company since. Jockey retains the partnership and heads a strong team here for the Hobbs and White yard. Stablemate ROYAL JEWEL (1) scored here last month tackling heavy going. Not unduly penalised for that. In the mix. KELCE (4) rarely runs a poor race. Successful by 2.5L last outing at Musselburgh a month ago and can continue the good spell. Worth including. WICKED THOUGHTS (6) is another course winner having landed his chase debut here in November. No show last start however might recover. Something for the Multiples: HOLD YOUR FORT (5)

Recent form hard to fault. Freshened for 34 days. Last outing favourite; tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.5 len this track on February 3 over 4600m on heavy going defeating Brave Kingdom carrying 76kg at $3.30 in a steeplechase. The start before that; finished third of 7 starters at Chepstow on December 27 over 3900m, 9 len behind Lunar Discovery carrying 73.5kg at $9. He has a fantastic record at this venue and is considered.

Resumes off a 30 day letup. Last start finished seventh of 10 runners at Newbury on February 7 over 4700m, on rain affected going; 52 len behind Holloway Queen carrying 71kg at $17. Run before made some head-way from midfield; finished ninth of 10 starters at Kempton Park on December 26 over 4100m, 31 len behind Barlovento carrying 74.5kg at $6.50. Comes into this in ordinary form. Disappointing that day and looks safely held.
