Tarabut is on a bit of a roll and can complete a hat-trick at the expense of Maggie Tulliver, Miss The Boat and Master Cobbler to name but three. Tarabut has been getting the hang of things throughout the season and was given a great ride when opening her account in an apprentice affair at Yarmouth in August. She returned to the seaside track to follow up under Richard Hills next time, winning as she liked when brought through off a virtually non-existent pace. There is sure to be more pace on here and that will suit her better, as will the fact that she gets six-pounds from main rival Maggie Tulliver. The latter kept up the gallop when scoring at Nottingham but she is there to be picked off by the selection with those tactics. Miss The Boat was coming under pressure when his saddle slipped at Sandown in July, but he has had a month off and returns with the stable in top form. He is another danger along with Master Cobbler who ran his best race yet when touched off, also at the Esher track last time. Bulwark was right behind then and has to enter calculations as well, but Tarabut is on the upgrade and can pay to support again.
