An unusually competitive maiden in which Karakoul bids to reward his long-suffering supporters after being a beaten favourite in his last three starts. He could be suited by the surface as could SCARLET ANGEL, who couldn't get close to the prolific Flame Of Eire at Bellewstown but was staying on strongly. Inchiquin Star has been in very good form in handicaps without winning while Lord Abama has been gelded since a disappointing run when favourite at Naas. Zabeir had form in the UK and led for a long way in a 1m1f Clonmel handicap a month ago. Pilbara Gold was engaged in the 2.05 at Bellewstown yesterday.
