TODAY'S RACE CARDS AT TAUNTON

Taunton staged a six-race evening jumps card on Wednesday, 22nd April 2026, on Good to Soft ground, and it delivered one of the strongest performances of the week for the Pro Horse Picks selection model, with four confirmed top-pick winners from the six renewals - a 67% strike rate that underlines the model's effectiveness across the evening programme. The card opened at 16:53 with Crest Of Stars confirming the model's headline assessment at 3.75 in a seven-runner contest, providing an authoritative start to the evening's racing at the Somerset venue.

The 17:30 then saw Jena D'oudairies land the spoils at 7.00, going against the modelled preference for Lady Caro in an eight-runner renewal, and the 18:00 produced a win for Taritino at 2.63, with Myrighthandman - the model's top selection - unable to sustain a challenge from a nine-runner field. These two mid-card misses provided brief interruption to what was otherwise a highly productive evening for selection followers.

The final three races produced a sustained run of confirmed top-pick winners that brought the Taunton programme to a highly satisfying close. Little Lady Lucy landed the 18:30, confirming the model's headline selection from an eleven-runner field - the SP unavailable due to an early withdrawal reducing the market - before Noble Blue scored at 5.00 in the 19:00 as the confirmed top pick from seven runners, rewarding supporters with a competitive each-way return. Modern Style then capped the evening in emphatic fashion, scoring at 1.73 as the odds-on market favourite in the 19:30 closer - the model's top selection justified in a strong eleven-runner finale. Four confirmed top-pick winners from six races makes Taunton the standout card of the day from a selection perspective, and the closing hat-trick of wins from 18:30 onwards provided a fittingly strong conclusion to Wednesday's racing.
