Taunton Race 5 - Stag Environmental Polaris Exmoor Devon Somerset Handicap Hurdle
INFERNO SACREE (4) is racing consistently with four placed efforts and now bids for a hat-trick after wins over course and distance scoring by 3.5L then followed up at Plumpton with a 1.25L success. Leading contender. EARTH KING (2) was a good 3L winner at Uttoxeter three starts back. Failed to place twice subsequently. Finished fifth on latest at Sedgefield last September. Can bounce back. AL SAYAH (3) missed out on the placings finishing fourth in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton on most recent appearance. Will be thereabouts. JUST A ROSE (1) cannot be discounted providing winning form at this venue.

Returns from the paddock today. Finished off last preparation 5 of 8 starters at Sedgefield September 4 over 5400m, 14 len behind Paddy De Pole carrying 76kg at $7.50. Previous preparation first-up won by 3 len Uttoxeter July 8 over 4700m defeating Imperial Merlin with 70.5kg at $11. Looks good enough to prevail against limited opposition.
