Verdict

New Tarabela sets the standard with a handicap rating of 74 and returns to this code after a couple of unsuccessful outings over hurdles. But DRACO'S CODE is less exposed and followed placed efforts in bumpers with a narrow-margin defeat over 1m4f here on his debut on the level. He's preferred to decent hurdler Fergall, who is rated much higher than these over jumps but has his first start on the Flat today. Radmores Express was well beaten in maiden company at Wolverhampton on Monday.
