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.

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSalisbury1m 4f 5yGoodFlat1/6Bath1m 6fGoodFlat2/8Fontwell Park2m 3f 29yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle6/8Taunton2m 3f 1yGoodHurdle1/9Exeter2m 2f 111yGoodHurdle2/10- 1(2)AlmuhitJ: Harry VigorsT: Faye Bramley1239-68Age 77/27/24/1

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosFontwell 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 TubbT: Jonathan Portman531-134Age 99/19/110/1

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGoodwood2mSoft (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-Runners

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.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHuntingdon3m 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
