Plenty to like about the Joseph O'Brien newcomers Line Judge and Juliet Rose along with the Mick Halford-trained Orchid Gardens but preference is for the experienced ABBY HATCHER. The daughter of Acclamation improved from first run to second last month over C&D and can see off a number of dangers in the shape of Laurel Grove for trainer Fozzy Stack and the John McConnell-trained Fryerns.
