Well overpriced for a runner with solid sprint form in similar-grade handicaps. Recent runs look worse on paper than they were. He was often racing away from the pace bias or meeting trouble at key stages. Now back in a race where the overall level isn’t strong, and the weights give him a fighting chance. He has enough pace to sit closer if ridden positively and doesn’t need to improve much to hit the frame at these odds.

Big price but not a no-hoper. Has shown flashes of early speed over this sharp 5f trip and now drops into a race lacking depth once you get past the top of the market. Draw and pace setup give him a chance to get a handy position rather than being buried, which is key round here. Still lightly raced on the AW, and if able to grab the rail and get rolling early, he’s the type who can massively outrun his odds in a race where several rivals need things to fall perfectly.

Better than his finishing positions suggest and worth another chance now easing back into a more suitable contest. His recent efforts came in races that didn’t play to his strengths, but he has bits of form earlier in the year that would put him right in the mix at these weights. The yard often pops up with one at a price on the AW, and this one has enough pace to stay in touch rather than being played from miles back. Big odds for a runner who isn’t totally reliant on others failing.

Has been holding his form well in similar AW handicaps and comes here off a series of competitive runs without getting a break. Ran to a solid level when fourth two starts back in a stronger race than this, travelling well and only giving best late on. Remains on a workable mark, still lightly raced on the all??'weather, and this looks a more realistic opportunity with several rivals either exposed or badly out of form. Has the tactical speed to hold a good position and doesn’t need everything to fall perfectly to be involved.

C&D winner who has already proved she can operate off this sort of mark. Her Southwell win in November came from a similar rating, and she backed that up with solid placed efforts before a run here 17 days ago that's better than it looks. She was poorly positioned that day but still wasn't beaten far in a race that didn't pan out for closers. Blinkers stay on. She's tactically versatile, and this is a weaker setup than some recent contests. Well overpriced for a filly with reliable AW form.

Lightly raced 3yo who hasn’t had many chances to show his hand in handicaps. His best efforts have come when able to race prominently, and this drop back into a smaller field gives him that opportunity. Pedigree suggests he should be comfortable on the surface, and his mark still looks workable given his age and profile. With several exposed rivals around him in the market, he looks the type who could outperform expectations at a big price.
19:00 Benin v Senegal
Senegal & No (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
Senegal are probably the strongest team in the tournament and have a mean defence. They still have work to do, and with a tie against a very good Algeria side awaiting the runner-up of this group, a win here is a must.
19:00 Botswana v DR Congo
DR Congo & No (Result + BTTS)

DR Congo need to win here and make up ground on Senegal in goal difference. They will be ruthless but also wary of not conceding in a bid to seal top spot. I can't see Botswana troubling them too much.

Course winner who showed his best form for some time when runner-up in a Kempton handicap last month, travelling strongly and only giving best late on. That run suggests his current mark is workable, and he’s better judged on that than the Wincanton effort where a bad blunder ended his chance. Returns to a track he’s already won at, conditions suit, and cheekpieces are applied, which could sharpen him up. If his jumping holds together, he’s a serious player.

Lightly raced for his age and shaped better than the bare result when staying on late over a shorter trip last time, suggesting this step up in trip could suit. He has been brought along quietly, and his form contains enough hints that he’s capable of outrunning this mark when things click. Taunton should play to his stamina rather than speed, and at the price he makes appeal to hit the frame if settling early.

This is the more interesting of the two from a win perspective. Bucephalus has shown enough over fences to suggest he’s better than his bare form, and this mark still gives him room if things finally click. Haydock suits horses that can keep finding under pressure, and he’s not one who throws the towel in when challenged. Harriet Tucker takes weight off, which could be a quiet edge if this becomes attritional late on. At the price, he’s a legitimate swing-for-the-fences WIN play, not just place filler.

This is very much a conditions gamble, but Haydock handicaps over this trip can flip fast if it turns into a slog. Sun Lady Marine is totally ignored by the market, yet is one of the few in the race guaranteed to be ridden patiently, which matters here. If the front end goes too hard on soft ground, she’s the type who can pass beaten horses late and suddenly be involved when others empty. Not one to trust win-wise, but at huge odds she makes proper each-way sense in a race where stamina will trump class.

Previous course winner who is far better than his recent finishing positions suggest. He was travelling competitively when falling two out at Wincanton last time, and that effort hinted his current mark remains workable if he puts in a clear round. Proven over this sort of trip, and Taunton’s flat, stamina-testing nature plays to his strengths. Not the most reliable jumper, but at the price he doesn’t need to be perfect ??" just repeat one of his better runs to be bang there.

Dangerous to ignore at the price. Well handicapped on old form (won off similar marks). Proven in heavy ground, and this is his first run after a wind operation, which is a key angle given his recent pull-ups. Yes, he’s fragile, but if the operation works and he gets into a rhythm, he’s absolutely capable of outrunning double-figure odds. Not one to go mad on for the win, but strong each-way value if he completes.

Rock-solid profile for this. Proven over 3m+, stays strongly, and has been holding his form in competitive staying chases without getting an easy lead. This looks a cleaner race tactically, and he’s well treated relative to recent efforts, especially compared to rivals with either questions over fitness or jumping. Reliable jumper, handles testing ground, and arrives race-fit. At around 3.6, he’s the one most likely to run to his mark and see it out properly.

Lelantos makes a strong appeal in this staying handicap, having already proven he can operate effectively at around this trip. He arrives in consistent form, having shaped well in competitive handicaps, and crucially looks to have conditions firmly in his favour here. Taunton tends to reward horses that travel and keep galloping rather than quicken sharply, and Lelantos fits that profile well. The James Bowen booking is another positive, and his mark still looks workable given his profile as a progressive stayer. With several rivals needing improvement or relying on headgear or ground changes, Lelantos looks the most solid win proposition in the race.

See The Green is worth chancing at a bigger price based on recent handicap efforts that are better than the bare results suggest. He has finished third on his last three starts, including when stepping up to 2m7f and then 3m, shaping as though stamina is very much his strength. A slight drop in class and forecast quicker ground are both positives, and first-time blinkers could help him travel a bit more sweetly earlier on. He doesn’t need to improve dramatically to hit the frame again, and if the principals overdo it up front, he’s the type to keep plugging on for a place.

Easy to overlook on bare form, but there are quiet positives. He has bits of hurdle form over similar trips that suggest he’s not out of place at this level, and he’s run respectably in stronger races than this without things falling his way. He is likely to be ridden patiently, which suits Haydock. If the principals don’t all fire, he’s the one who could nick a place at a price. Much more interesting as an each-way play than the mid-market runners.

Showed more ability than the bare result when third on his hurdles debut at Bangor, coming from further back than the first two in a steadily run race. That effort looked like a quiet educational run. He’s now taken a step forward with a wind operation and a tongue-strap applied, which is often a key move from this yard second time out. Bred to improve with experience, and with this contest likely to be run at a stronger pace, he should have the chance to travel and finish properly. With expected progress and conditions to suit, he looks capable of taking this on his second start over hurdles.

French-bred with a clear class edge based on hurdles form rather than reputation. Shaped well in stronger company overseas and has already shown he can operate at Listed level, which sets him apart in what is effectively a small-field conditions race. This trip looks ideal. Soft ground holds no fears, and he arrives race-fit rather than needing the run. James Reveley is a strong booking for a horse that needs positive, uncomplicated handling. If running anywhere near his best French figures, he should be hard to beat.

Lightly raced and still unexposed over hurdles, Miss Carbo has shown enough in novice company to suggest there’s more to come now dropped into this Listed but thin-looking field. Her previous efforts came in deeper races than this, where she traveled well for a long way before fading late on, hinting that a steadier tempo will suit. This small field should allow her to find a rhythm, and she looks the type who can grind into the frame rather than quicken past rivals. At the prices, she makes far more appeal than the exposed outsiders and has solid place credentials if running to her current mark.

Interesting handicap chase debutant who has shown enough over hurdles to think fences will suit better than the bare form implies. Travels strongly, jumps economically, and now gets a trip that looks much more in his favour than recent runs. The market has overlooked him slightly, but this yard often improves types when switching to chasing, and he doesn’t need a huge step forward to get involved. At double-figure odds, he’s a solid each-way player if the principals don’t fully fire.

Looked a much better animal than the finishing position suggests on chase debut at Kelso, shaping well for a long way in heavy ground before fitness told late on. That was his first run over fences, first with cheekpieces, and he still travelled like a horse capable of winning a race off this mark. Proven stamina at around 3m, acts in testing conditions, and this slightly sharper track should suit his rhythm better. With that experience under his belt and a more positive ride expected, he has clear upside in a race lacking depth.

French-bred who has been slowly brought along, but his runs suggest he’s better than bare finishing positions. Shaped as though stamina is his strong suit, and this is the first time he’s been pitched into a proper staying handicap chase rather than learning on the job. Low mileage, unexposed, and if he takes a step forward with experience, he can nick a place at a price in a weak race.

Has already shown stamina over staying trips and looks the most solid of these on proven chase form. Ran a respectable race when placed over 3m, jumping soundly and sticking on when others cried enough. The drop back to 2m 7f at Taunton is ideal, and Isabelle Ryder’s claim helps keep him competitive off this mark. In a novice handicap where many are guessing at the trip, he’s one of the few with evidence he stays and jumps.

Lightly raced compared to some in here and has bits of form that hint he’s better than his price. Ran a solid race when third at Carlisle earlier in the year over a similar trip, showing stamina and a willingness to battle. Jumping has generally held up, and Haydock’s flat, galloping nature should suit his style. Needs things to fall right, but at double-figure odds he’s overpriced to sneak into the frame if the pace collapses late.

Returned this season with a 17f Kelso win, traveling strongly and jumping soundly, which shows he’s still got plenty of ability at nine. Latest run at Doncaster (5/7) looks worse than it was ??" ridden patiently in a race that didn’t suit closers and shaped better than the bare result. Back up to 2m4f, a trip he’s already handled, and Haydock’s emphasis on stamina plays to his strengths. Still on a workable OR of 126 for a Donald McCain runner who tends to place these well in northern handicaps.

Point-to-point runner-up before being bought for £30,000, so there’s underlying ability. His two hurdle runs look modest on paper, but he wasn’t knocked about at Lingfield 17 days ago. This step up to 2m 3f is much more in line with his pedigree and point form. A tongue-tie applied for the first time suggests connections are looking for improvement now rather than later. In a weak novice, he’s the one most likely to take a step forward today.

Only one run to date in a Chepstow bumper where he was well beaten, but that was eight months ago. He now switches to hurdling for a capable yard. His pedigree suggests stamina, and this longer trip should suit him better than a bumper. Big price for a horse who could easily improve past several rivals on hurdling debut. Not a win bet, but place claims if he progresses as expected.

Point winner who has shown steady improvement in two hurdle runs this winter. Fourth at Uttoxeter last time on heavy ground reads better than the bare finishing position, keeping on late after being outpaced. By Jet Away, stamina is his strength and this sharper 1m7f at Haydock should suit now fitness is there.

More interesting than the market suggests. Cost £55,000 after winning an Irish maiden point, so there is ability under the bonnet. His hurdle form (35) doesn’t tell the full story ??" both runs came in stronger novice races, and he was doing his best work late. Also by Jet Away, and stepping back in trip could help him travel better before using his stamina. Big price for a yard that places these patiently, and he has realistic place claims if progressing as expected.

Much more interesting at the price. Has shown enough ability on the flat to be competitive in a race like this and is not badly bred for hurdling, with stamina on both sides. The yard often lets them find their feet before asking serious questions, but Taunton suits horses that travel and jump neatly rather than grinders. Doesn’t need to win to be a good each-way play ??" a clean round puts him right in the mix for the frame.

Fair maiden on the Flat who shaped as though a step up in trip would suit, regularly seeing his races out beyond a mile. By Ghaiyyath, so stamina shouldn’t be an issue switching to hurdles, and he’s from an Olly Murphy yard that does well introducing juveniles to hurdling. Flat form isn’t flashy but it’s consistent, and the fact he kept finding late suggests this discipline could unlock improvement. Not overfaced here and looks capable of taking a hand on debut over timber.
