1997	Olliver Duckett	8	10-6	14/1	C L Popham	G Tormey	88

A 2m3f Nov H'cap Chase where no FAV in 9 runnings has won and this coupled with the fact that 5 5y-olds have ran over the years and have failed to win makes taking on the Fav SPIDAM a possibility.
D.PIPE runs the 2nd Fav MARCEL and this is the selection.



TAUNTON 2:20

2006	Kalmini	4	10-5	4/1	Miss Sheena West	Jamie Goldstein	105
2005	Penzance	4	10-7	6/1	A King	Robert Thornton	113
2003	Shalako	5	11-11	2/1F	P J Hobbs	Richard Johnson	122
2002	Samon	5	11-4	6/4	M C Pipe	A P McCoy	145
2001	Cupboard Lover	5	11-4	4/1	N J Henderson	Mick Fitzgerald	120
2000	Seebald	5	11-4	1/3F	M C Pipe	A P McCoy	123

What we have to consider here is the fact that until 2003 only 3 4y-olds had ran in the 4 runnings , since than 13 have been entered and have dominated the placings.
The winning odds range from Fav - 6/1
P.HOBBS has ran 5 horses in this event over the years and those that have been in single figures , odds wise, have been placed 3rd,1st and 2nd.

PREDATUER , trained by P NICHOLS will start fav and be hard to beat but if your looking for an e-way or place bet then P.HOBB'S BON VIVEUR could fit the bill.

DIV 1 - DISTANT SUN + NOT TOO TAXING fit the bill
DIV 2 - Last years winning trainer ,M.BELL runs one of only 3 colts/geldings entered and his ARCH OF TITUS is the selection
