Good 4L third in a 1m4f maiden at Lingfield in February. Well held on handicap debut at Wolverhampton subsequently however and others make more appeal.

Impressive 7L winner over 1m4f at Brighton (good-to-firm) last October and beaten just a neck when runner-up over 1m2f there later that month. Races off a mark 6lb higher than for that latest success but remains one to note on seasonal debut.

Dual winner on turf including on heavy going at Ffos Las (1m4f) in September. Likely to have improved for his 11th place finish at Doncaster (1m4f, good) in an amateur riders event a fortnight ago.

Running well in defeat of late including when third over 1m4f at Lingfield last time out. Raised 1lb for that effort and is an interesting runner on return to turf.

Two good efforts since joining this stable including when third over 1m4f at Kempton last month. Races off his 9lb lower turf mark here and is an interesting runner with a top jockey booked to ride.

Not gone on from a promising sixth-placed finish on debut at Newbury (1m, soft) in October 2017. Probably best watched following a heavy defeat at Kempton on handicap debut in November.

12 race maiden finished a good third over 1m4f at Lingfield in February. Given a break since and interesting to see how she fares on this occasion.

Ten race maiden placed third in first time cheekpieces (retained since) over 1m4f at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start. Drop in trip should suit following a fair effort over 2m subsequently.

Forecasts

Amaretto (9/2), Sauchiehall Street (5/1), Broad Appeal (6/1), Ascot Day (15/2), Kirkland Forever (8/1), Vanity Vanity (8/1), The Secrets Out (10/1), Zenith One (12/1), Watt Broderick (12/1), Mood For Mischief (14/1), Famous Dynasty (16/1), Ace Combat (25/1), Incredible Dream (25/1), Mobham (33/1), Boffo (33/1), Tuscan Pearl (100/1)

Verdict

KIRKLAND FOREVER ended last season in good form and she can make a winning reappearance in the concluding race on the card. The selection should have the trip and forecast underfoot conditions to suit and she can get the better of her rivals here with Sauchiehall Street capable of finishing runner-up following a good effort on the AW last time out. Third place can go to Famous Dynasty who is another to have shown good AW form of late.
  1. Kirkland Forever
  2. Sauchiehall Street
  3. Famous Dynasty
