Division one of the maiden can go the way of KINGS DESTINY who can make amends for his defeat last time out; a number of top stables are represented in it, which is rather unusual given the time of year. Among those from leading yard include the newcomer Albaasha and Albuharith while Sign Of Approval could be considered unlucky last time out as he missed the break and was finishing best of all. The 79-rated Kings Destiny has shown enough to suggest a maiden should come his way. He probably met an above average sort given the time of year last time out and his experience should see him through here. Very little separates Kings Destiny and Sign Of Approval on ratings. Karl Burke's charge has been set some stiff tasks since making his debut when finishing second at Folkestone. Outclassed in both the Mill Reef and the Timeform Million, connections clearly think something of him to warrant those attempts. Albulharith finished mid-division in a backend Newmarket maiden. While the merit of the form is unknown, initial impressions were that it looked an average maiden. Market moves for Albaasha should be noted but Kings Destiny can land it.
