Horse racing tips: Taunton and Musselburgh – Templegate’s betting preview for the racing this Sunday, February 4

PLAY by the Rules in Taunton’s 4.00.

CALARULES (nap) made a promising debut for Tim Vaughan at Catterick on New Year’s Day.

The return to today’s longer trip will help and having James Bowen on his back is another positive.

GRAND SANCY (1.05 Taunton, nb) bumped into useful prospect Jurby on his hurdles debut. This looks easier.

CLAIMANTAKINFORGAN (2.00 Musselburgh, treble) was smart in bumpers and he’s unbeaten in two starts since switching to hurdles. The better ground will be right up his street.
