Tagrita makes it two in a row

Tagrita built on her recent return to form with a second win in succession in the Cash Out With Betfair Handicap Hurdle at Wincanton.

Paul Nicholls’s charge had disappointed on her return to action after over a year off the track at Kempton last December, but after bouncing back to form at this track last month, she made a swift return pay off in the hands of Harry Cobden.

Sent off the 5-2 favourite, Tagrita demonstrated plenty of guts to see off Somerset Jem by three-and-a-half lengths in the two-mile-five-furlong heat.
