First up, we've got 'Knock Off Soxs' who's tipped as the frontrunner for the 13:20 at Taunton, competing over 2m 3f 1y on good ground. This spirited 4-year-old gelding, partnered with jockey H Cobden and trained by K Woollacott, showcases a promising live price of 3.5, which positions him in the value odds range. Over the past 30 days, he’s had a run to remember with a perfect strike, including a win here, making him a strong contender once more on familiar turf. The Cobden-Woollacott duo has been solid, suggesting another commendable performance might be on the cards here at Taunton. 'Bye Bye Salam' bound to struggle a bit at long odds of 34, racing also at Taunton in the same event. Although teamed with jockey Lorcan Williams under trainer J Scott, these long odds reflect their less impressive recent form. Even with a handful of races under the belt this past month, victories have eluded this team, setting the expectations a tad lower for this outing. Then there's 'Bushstreet Bowman', a 5-year-old gelding handled by Ben Jones with trainer B Pauling. With staggeringly long odds of 51, it’s clear he’s an outsider in this race. Recent performances haven’t managed to snatch a win, reflecting the challenges ahead for this pair at Taunton. Among these competitors, 'Knock Off Soxs' stands out notably for the top spot with a robust recent track record, solid teamwork, and proven capability at this course. This makes him our top tip for the upcoming race. Best of luck betting, folks! Remember, when the fun stops, stop.
