Taunton win for Kilrogan
A fine display of jumping gave Kilrogan an impressive 10-length victory for the in-form Limpley Stoke team of Andy Haynes in the Racecourse Owners and Trainers Spring Handicap Chase on fast going at sunny Taunton.
Last year's winner Bring Me Sunshine parted company with Charlotte Tizzard on the first circuit, leaving Nick Scholfield to score on the 10-year-old, with Will Kennedy second on Smoke Trail.

Winning trainer: Andy Haynes
Gold Gun started a hot favourite for the Bhest Novices' Chase but jumping errors put paid to his chances and the seven-year-old, under Charlie Poste, trailed in last of the four starters.
Kennedy made the early running on Caroline Keevil's Dizzy Future and finished 16 lengths clear of Run Of Kings, ridden by Rodi Greene, with Mattie Batchelor a neck behind in third on Kinkeel.
Bergo lined up at a 10-1 on shot for the Arabian Horse Racing Novices' Chase and duly obliged for Welsh trainer Evan Williams.
James Davies sent Neil Mulholland's Faraday into an early lead before Christian Williams took control on Bergo, carrying the colours of Bath professional punter Harry Findlay, who is also part-owner of Denman.
Apache Dawn was another beaten market leader in the Small Businesses Maiden Hurdle after Christian Williams failed by three-and-a-quarter lengths to peg back Linda Blackford's Moon Bear, partnered by John Kington, with Matty Roe a close third on Hum The Tune.
Twenty Degrees, owned and trained by Michael Hawker, took the Captain Ronnie Wallace Hunters' Chase by one-and-a-half lengths from the 2006 Scottish National winner Run For Paddy.
Tom Siddall won the last race, when Charlie Longsdon's Prairie Spirit followed up last week's Ludlow success with a narrow win over Foreign King, under Andrew Thornton, in the End of Season Hurdle.
