Forever races home

Racer Forever stepped up on a solid effort at Goodwood on his previous start to land the opening contest at Salisbury in workmanlike fashion under Jimmy Fortune.

The 6-4 favourite gradually got the better of market rival Live Fast from the halfway point and despite drifting across his rival to the far rail just before the furlong-pole, comfotably had enough in hand to take the Carmen Wines EBF Maiden Stakes by two lengths.
