Taritino
TARITINO scored in good style at Salisbury and all looks set fair for another big run, with 2m likely to suit and Mason Paetel offsetting the 5 lb penalty. Last year's winner Almuhit got his head back in front over hurdles a fortnight ago and could be the danger.

Won twice in 2024 and back in good form this year having missed 21 months, runner-up for a third time at Catterick (1¾m) a fortnight ago, picked off by one coming from further back.

Enjoyed a fine 2025, winning a couple of 4-runner C&D events (including this race, from Kitty Foyle) before holding his own in competitive staying handicaps at Ascot/York. Simple task over hurdles a fortnight ago and back on a good mark in this sphere.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosFontwell Park2m 1f 162yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/3Thirsk2m 13yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat8/13Punchestown2m 3f 81yYieldingHurdle4/24Musselburgh1m 5f 216ySoftFlat6/13Wincanton2m 3f 179yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/15- 2(1)Russian RumourJ: Olivia TubbE: Jonathan Portman531-134Âge 98/18/17/1

Picked up where she left off in 2025 with victory in a thin 4-runner contest at Nottingham (1¾m) on return. Unsuited by steady pace at Lingfield next time but blotted her copybook with an uncharacteristically lazy display at Goodwood a fortnight ago. Looks vulnerable.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosGoodwood2mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Flat4/6Lingfield Park1m 6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat3/4Nottingham1m 6fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/4Ffos Las2mHeavyFlat1/7Bath1m 6fSoftFlat3/12- Non-partants

In fine form over hurdles in the spring, successful twice at Taunton, and back to winning ways on the level in 1½m Salisbury handicap 9 days ago. Impressive there and seems sure to go well again over this longer trip.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosSalisbury1m 4f 5yGoodFlat1/6Bath1m 6fGoodFlat2/8Fontwell Park2m 3f 29yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/8Taunton2m 3f 1yGoodHurdle1/9Exeter2m 2f 111yGoodHurdle2/10- 4(3)Kitty FoyleRetiréJ: Hector CrouchE: Daisy Hitchins1/5224-Âge 6

Runner-up twice in small field C&D handicaps last summer (edged out by Almuhit in this corresponding race first occasion) and has been in good form over hurdles, making the most of a golden opportunity at Wincanton then set a lot to do when second at Huntingdon. Wouldn't rule out back on the level.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosHuntingdon3m 1f 10yGood to Firm (Good in places)Hurdle2/6Wincanton3m 150yGoodHurdle1/3Kempton Park3m 121yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/9Exeter2m 2f 111yGoodHurdle5/11Stratford-on-avon2m 70yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle3/5
