Russian Rumour (Ire)

Age: 9
Weight: 9st 11lbs
Or: 79

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.

Almuhit (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 10st 1lbs
Or: 83

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.

Baileys Khelstar (Fr)

Age: 6
Weight: 9st 10lbs
Or: 78

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. Needs a bit more.

Timeform Verdict

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.
