We had a very average day yesterday with the NAP winning but hopefully we can bag few more winners on Thursday.
Racing takes place over the jumps at Taunton and Warwick, whilst All-Weather meetings take place at Wolverhampton in the evening and Chelmsford City. Limerick in Ireland hosts a jumps meeting.

Here are Danny Archer's selections...
Kick within Touch of winning at Taunton
2:00: Taunton - Touch Kick 11/4
Advert
Ran well despite pulling hard in a Grade Three event at Sandown last time. This looks competitive but Paul Nicholls' horses are in scintillating form with his yard operating at a 24% strike-rate.
2:30: Taunton - Master Burbidge 4/1
Very impressive when winning over course and distance. Has been risen 8lb but Noel Fehily is back aboard and he should take plenty of beating.
3:00: Taunton - Innocent Girl 7/4 NAP
Advert
Hasn't been seen since November but she impressively landed three chase events this season. Held back for decent ground, she does well fresh and looks set to run a big event.
3:35: Taunton - Amour De Nuit 3/1
Was involved in a real battle here just over a week ago before his rival fell enabling the five-year-old son of Azamour to record an easy 19 length success. He might be able to repel an 11lb rise in quite a weak looking race.
4:10: Taunton - Timeforwest Evens
Advert
Easy winner at Market Rasen last time, gets into this race without a penalty and should follow up.
Rocky to pack a punch at Warwick
4:00: Warwick - Rocky's Treasure 5/1
Advert
This unexposed six-year-old son of Westerner has run just three times under rules and held on gamely to win at Doncaster last time. He is a progressive sort who could improve past some more established candidates in this three mile and two furlongs event.
5:10: Warwick - Mance Rayder 11/4
Unraced son of Flemensfirth but Philip Hobbs does well with his bumper newcomers and he represents powerful connections in this two-mile event.
London calling at Chelmsford
8:15: Chelmsford City - London 9/4
Finished second to Hammer Gun who won at Southwell yesterday and he is taken to reverse the form with that horse in this event. A winner at Dundalk off a 4lb higher mark last season, this looks his time to record victory in Britain.
Me to show rivals no Mercy at Wolverhampton
3:10: Wolverhampton - Fast Track 11/2 Each Way
Has won over course and distance and ran well here last time when a narrow third in February. He didn't get the best of runs that day and given he is a hold up horse that is all important so he is taken to improve that run, bearing in mind he is just 3lb higher than when winning here in January.
3:45: Wolverhampton - Mercy Me 2/1
Kirby's on board and this five-year-old son of Mawatheeq ran a cracker to finish second to the highly regarded Signe at Newcastle last week, finishing a length and a quarter behind him. That's the best form on offer here and he has to go well.
Koeman to Blast clear of rivals at Limerick
1:45: Limerick - Blast Of Koeman Evens
Has struggled in handicap company this year despite starting a short price on his last start. He was a very decent bumper horse and he couldn't really ask for a better chance here to get his head in front.
2:45: Limerick - Marakoush 9/1 Each Way
Alan Fleming is a canny handler and Marakoush shaped pretty well after over a year off at Fairyhouse last time. The dreaded bounce factor is a worry but this lad beat a subsequent Cheltenham Festival winner (Road To Respect - Martin Pipe) in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown and he could prove a bit better than he has shown recently.
3:50: Limerick - General Principle 4/5
Facile nine length winner at Gowran Park last time over two miles and four furlongs and he should be OK with the step up to three miles in another weak event for a Grade Three.
Lucky 15
2:00: Taunton - Touch Kick
2:30: Taunton - Master Burbidge
3:35: Taunton - Amour De Nuit
8:15: Chelmsford City - London
*** NEW ADDITIONS ***
4:20: Wolverhampton: Monologue 2/1.
Won a bad race here last time but this doesn't look much stronger and he can shrug off a 6lb penalty.
5:45: Chelmsford: Beauchamp Oral 5/1 Each Way.
Run with credit over a mile this season but connections now opt to go up in trip and that could just help him get his head in front.
