UK Thursday

R3 Taunton Civil War. If this horse is ever going to win a hurdle race, then it's likely to be today. Has easily the best form in the race and looks to have only the favourite All Yours to beat. All Yours has a lot to prove, however, after falling on hurdles debut (was well held at the time) and Civil War should be able to see him off in a first-time visor (can race a bit lazily, so the equipment change should help). 15/8 or better a good price (should be favourite in my view and may well go off favourite come post time).

Vimy ridge at Chelsmford tonight, we got the word for it the other week and i notice it`s being supported again today

R6 Chelmsford. Nouvelle Ere might be the value in a very poor race - although will need to be ridden a bit more patiently than last time if he is going to see out the ten furlongs.

Nice call ST
