Teraabb has taken a step forward with each outing and can finally open his account in the BetMGM: It’s Showtime Maiden Stakes at Lingfield on Wednesday afternoon.
Charlie Fellowes’ charge did not really sparkle on his racecourse bow, finishing eighth on heavy ground at Sandown before improving on that to come home fourth on the Kempton all-weather, albeit beaten a similar distance of seven lengths.
However, his most recent outing at Yarmouth offers much more hope as he outran his odds of 25/1 to finish just a head behind Edge Of Darkness in a competitive maiden.
The winner has registered two subsequent triumphs, most recently at Doncaster on Saturday past, while the third has also won since, so now it is time for Teraabb to boost the form.

Alacrity was beaten six lengths at the first attempt but should improve on that in the Bet £10 Get £40 At BetMGM Novice Stakes.
This daughter of Study Of Man counts Listed winner and Group One-placed runner Albaflora among her half-siblings, so she looks a likely type to thrive over longer trips next term.
Andrew Balding edges her up from seven furlongs to a mile for this and given Alacrity looked in need of the experience on her initial start, she looks to have solid claims.
Minnetonka made no impact when upped to Listed company last time out but Kempton’s Unibet More Extra Place Races Handicap should prove to be well within her compass.
A winner on her juvenile debut in June 2022, Minnetonka than ran with credit in a series of Group race assignments, although those results ensured she started from a stiff mark of 92 this year.
Her string of luckless runs eventually saw her drop to 80 and she duly regained the winning thread with a Racing League win in September, before another series of placed efforts.
She was far too keen at Newmarket on what was really testing ground, so perhaps a return to the all weather could just work the oracle.
David Menuisier’s juveniles are ending the year on a high and Xaarine can strike another blow for the trainer in the Unibet Horserace Betting Operator Of The Year Nursery Handicap.
The Goken filly is yet to strike in four starts, but she has shown flashes of ability in placing in a couple of her novice outings.
Upped to Listed level at Deauville in August, Xaarine came home last of 10 on that occasion but a move to handicap company can help her get off the mark.
