Forecasts

Magical Zoe (2/1), Light Fury (3/1), Lenebane (7/2), Abstract (4/1), Storm Mahler (4/1), Rock On Pedro (17/2), Sunwalk (22/1), Dr Val (33/1), Poker Night (33/1), Mr Sundancer (40/1), Prayer Moon (50/1), Celine Man (50/1), Janverlil (66/1), Therailwayman (150/1), Cullenwaine (150/1)

MAGICAL ZOE looked a bright prospect when landing a Cork bumper on her debut and can make a winning start over hurdles now for her new yard after changing hands for 140 000 gns. Lenebane holds the edge on form of those with experience and is next on the list ahead of Light Fury and Abstract.
