      Verdict

      TARRABB won nicely at Chelmsford on her racecourse debut and can defy a penalty with today’s opposition looking no great shakes. Windsor fourth Raqraaq is conceding weight to younger horses again though is still preferred to both Virtuoso and White Umbrella, who failed to get involved last time. High And Wide is related to a couple of winners but was sold for only £3,200 at the sales in March.
