Taunton managed to beat the cold weather and give jumps fans something to enjoy this afternoon, and to round off the day there is a seven-race card under lights at Chelmsford. Here's three runners to note.

Black Truffle
6.45

You have to go back to August 2015 for the last time Mark Usher's veteran was in the winner's enclosure, but he has been running well of late and has only finished out of the first four once in his last seven starts.

The losing streak does sow a seed of doubt as he has been a well-backed favourite, but he deserves an eighth career win and this is a good opportunity.

Monumental Man
7.45

Last year Monumental Man won this race, and he is back again for another crack.

A proven front-runner, the eight-year-old is drawn to attack in stall one and could prove tough to catch if bouncing out in front.

Shaella
8.15

Favourite Bardd does not convince as he has been turned over on several occasions over jumps, and Shaella could be one to take the market leader on with.

The three-year-old showed ability on both her bumper runs for Amy Murphy, and makes her debut here for Jane Chapple-Hyam.
