Verdict
TARRAFF made a winning handicap debut when scoring easily on the soft ground at Leicester and can defy a 6lb rise. Valley Of Flowers won over a longer trip at Ayr last time while Sutue Alshams scored on good going at Musselburgh to open her account. Edwina Sheeran has been winning at Ripon this year while Richard P Smith placed over 1m2f at Doncaster and Whispering Royal has plenty of scope so that trio should also go well.
