Horse Racing Tips: Timeform's three best bets at Taunton on Wednesday

Mon Frere - 16:55 Taunton

Mon Frere was a fairly useful winner on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and was given a considerate ride on his hurdling/stable debut over two miles at this course last month. The two that finished in front of him had reached higher heights on the Flat, and have both run well since, so there is reason to be positive about the form. Mon Frere should have learnt plenty for that experience and this longer trip will bring about improvement.

Ordered Lives - 17:30 Taunton

Ordered Lives showed ability in bumpers and left the form of her hurdling debut well behind when opening her account in a mares' novice at Ludlow three weeks ago. She appeared to react well to much more positive tactics, making all the running and finding for pressure when asked for an effort before the third last. She asserted well on the run-in, has a pretty good pedigree, and should have even more to offer now she is up and running.

Ask The Lady - 18:30 Taunton

A big-field handicap where several make some appeal, but it could be worth taking a chance on the Fergal O'Brien-trained Ask The Lady. She showed improved form upped to a similar trip as this when hitting the frame at Huntingdon last month while leaving the impression that run didn't get to the bottom of her. She has since been dropped 2 lb in the weights and should have more to offer in handicaps.
