Fair Flat winner who gained breakthrough success in this sphere at Stratford (16.3f, soft). Up 6 lb, but each-way shout all the same.

Resumes winning ways in emphatic style under Angus Cheleda in a conditions jockeys' event at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good) last week. Escapes a penalty and should prove hard to beat.

Exeter scorer in October, but has gone into his shell since and will probably find a few too good once more.

Well held in novice/maiden hurdles and unseated rider at the first on handicap bow in September. Showed a bit more when fourth at Market Rasen (16.6f, heavy) and now tongue tied after a wind op.

11/1
Beat just one rival home in a 6-runner maiden hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f, good to firm) last month, but that wasn't a bad effort and improvement could be on the cards now pitched into a handicap.

No real impact in 4 starts over hurdles and hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces triggering improvement here.

Forecasts

Mystic Court (8/11), Blazing Saddles (3/1), Galurin (7/1), Mr Yeats (11/1), Chief Brody (14/1), Caroline's Quest (28/1), Nuriel (50/1), Aluna Quartz (50/1)

19:00 Taunton - 21 April 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

MYSTIC COURT dotted up at Newton Abbot recently and, with no penalty to carry, he is hard to oppose. There may be better to come from Mr Yeats now that he takes the handicap path and the 4-y-o is preferred to Blazing Saddles for forecast purposes.

  1. MYSTIC COURT (IRE)
  2. MR YEATS (IRE)
  3. BLAZING SADDLES
