Forecasts

Sapphire Lady (6/5), Contingency (7/4), Abbey Magic (7/4), Felicidad (4/1), Champagne Beauty (11/2), Make My Heart Fly (8/1), Serpolette (40/1)

ABBEY MAGIC ran right up to her useful best when third in a valuable mares handicap here last month, so is clearly the one to beat. Sapphire Lady and Felicidad can do battle for minor honours.
