All you need to know for today's action including going reports

Is there a horse who can follow the likes of Sire De Grugy, Fox Norton, Royal Vacation and Tommy Silver by winning the feature race at Taunton on Tuesday?

Perhaps not, but the line-up for the £18,000 handicap hurdle is ultra-competitive on what is quite a strong day of action.

Alongside Taunton and Wetherby, Clonmel's meeting features a Grade 3 novice hurdle in which Gordon Elliott could have a strong say. Wolverhampton provides the all-weather action in the evening.

The Champions League offers up a belting tie this evening, as Barcelona take on Chelsea, and Steve Davies previews the match.

Final thought

Robbie Power is right to pick Sizing John over Our Duke. You do not get off a Gold Cup winner in these circumstances, just as Ruby Walsh didn't desert Kauto Star. No one will criticise him if he gets it wrong.
