WITH the improving ground that will attract large fields, another bumper crowd is expected at England's youngest jumps course when they race at Taunton on Thursday (Feb 26) when they host The Royal Bath and West Raceday.

Local trainers David Pipe, Paul Nicholls and Phillip Hobbs all have a number of entries and with the Cheltenham Festival just around the corner there is increased interest from local racegoers.
