FormscanBy John O'Riordan - KARAKOUL should be good enough to finally shed his maiden tag. The Aga Khan-owned gelding has run well in some decent maidens all year, often just being unfortunate to bump into a couple of above average types. Provided he handles the polytrack surface, he won't get many better opportunities to win in this grade. Lord Abama looks the chief threat, especially now that the Halford stable appear to have hit form. With only the four starts under his belt, the Profitable gelding has more scope for improvement than a lot of these rivals. Inchiquin Star is more exposed after 13 starts but has been remarkably consistent in handicap company, so commands respect with Jamie Powell taking 7lb off her back. Scarlet Angel may prefer slightly further but runners from her yard should never be discounted.
For three years old and upwards, maidens at starting that at entry have run at least three times and have a rating of 75 or lessWeights - 3-y-o 9st 8lbs 4-y-o and up 9st 11lbs Fillies allowed 5lbs
