Forecasts

Ferns Lock (1/4), Aloneamongmillions (11/2), On The Sod (12/1), Annamix (14/1), Grange Island (16/1), Visioman (20/1), Lough Derg Spirit (28/1), Welsh Saint (33/1), Dancing After Dark (100/1)

FERNS LOCK has been very impressive in winning two of these events recently and she's a warm order to complete the hat-trick. Aloneamongmillions looks the danger returning to Rules and On The Sod, the seection's stablemate, isn't without hope.
