Kurland set for Royal Ascot

Kurland is poised to feature at Royal Ascot later this month after an impressive win first time out at Newmarket in April.

The Queen Mary Stakes on June 17 has been lined up for the Martyn Meade-trained two-year-old following a blistering run and three-and-three-quarter-length victory over five furlongs.

Meade's son and assistant trainer, Freddie, has confirmed the plan is to give her the opportunity to prove her worth at Ascot on Wednesday week.

He said: “The plan for Kurland is to go for the Queen Mary.

“She has been in great form since Newmarket and we have just been keeping her ticking over.

“She has done a couple of nice pieces of work recently but we have tried to make sure we have not got her wound up as she is quite a buzzy filly.”
