Zaarito runs at Exeter

The Colm Murphy trained is generally an 8/1 chance to win the Betfred Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter today.

Zaarito, who is having his first run for more than 10 months, faces strong opposition in the shape of Captain Chris, Ghizao and Medermit but trainer Murphy reports the nine-year-old to be in good shape ahead of his reappearance.

"He seems good and we're hopeful of a nice run," said the County Wexford handler.

"It's a big ask for him to go over there for his first run back, but he has a nice weight so we thought we'd let him take his chance.

"He had a problem after he run at Fairyhouse in December, but he's been good since."
