Forecasts

Kilconquhar (6/4), One One Seven (5/1), Qaaraat (15/2), Clotherholme (8/1), Sarayaat (11/1), Phoenix Star (12/1), Amelia R (16/1), Excessable (16/1), Ustath (18/1), Three Card Trick (20/1), Highland Acclaim (33/1), Kroy (50/1), Slingshot (50/1), Summer Heights (125/1)

KILCONQUHAR seemed to relish the return to this track when recording a smooth success in an apprentice event 7 days ago and, if in the same form, he should prove capable of following up. Qaaraat's consistency is hard to knock and he's expected to be on the premises once more.
