Placed at the last two starts including a runner-up effort, and clearly stays two miles while acting on any going; rated lowest in the field and yet to score in her last four, so will need things to drop perfectly.
Drove clear to take a hurdle handicap by four lengths last time, travelling with purpose under a forward ride at two miles on a sound surface — conditions that suit here today; back on a mark just a pound above what he managed to achieve something similar off twelve months ago, and first-time cheekpieces add interest.

Almuhit's mid-range Saturday Rating of 87 and inconsistent form figures of 239-68 justify a cautious 3/5 despite fair 11/4 market odds.
Has two wins in recent starts and handles today's trip and going; in first-time headgear and still in a viable position at the weights, though a 19-length fourth last time means he needs to show he has regrouped before he can be backed with confidence.

✦AI verdict
Solid Saturday Rating of 86 and consistent form (31-134) are offset by 9-11 weight and 15/2 odds suggesting limited market confidence.
Consistent profile with four placed efforts in recent starts, including a close second over this distance two outings ago; handles any ground at a range of trips and attracts a notable jockey booking — the main risk is that she has yet to find the front in her last five outings.

Rated 92 with solid 02422 form, Baileys Khelstar carries a demanding 9-10 at 7/4, suggesting the market respects but doesn't fully trust a win.
Landed a handicap by four and a half lengths off a lower mark at Salisbury last time, travelling strongly and asserting in good style; effective at around a mile and a half on any going and the confidence from that performance should carry over here — just whether he gets two miles is the question.

Taritino's 89 Saturday Rating and improving form (448-21) show promise, but 9-4 odds and 9-4 weight suggest the market holds reservations.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
Taritino (SR 89, 9/4) is on a sharp upward trajectory — the form string 448-21 shows a horse that has improved markedly in its last two starts, winning most recently, and comes into this race in career-best form. Crucially, it carries the lightest weight in the field at 9-4, a meaningful 11lb advantage over top-weight Almuhit (10-1) and 6lb less than favourite Baileys Khelstar (9-10), which on Good to Firm ground over 2m is a significant edge. Although Baileys Khelstar leads on SR (92), the /02422 form string shows a horse that has been finishing second repeatedly without winning — a consistent placed-without-winning pattern that raises questions over its ability to close the deal. Taritino's combination of recent winning form, lightest weight, and competitive SR 89 makes it the most compelling selection.
Each-way alternative: Baileys Khelstar.
Main danger: Baileys Khelstar — Baileys Khelstar (SR 92, 7/4) holds the highest rating in the field, carries a manageable 9-10, and is the market favourite — if Charlie Johnston's horse finally converts its placed form into a win, the SR advantage over Taritino could prove decisive.
