Forecasts

The Abbey (16/5), Stealthy Tom (10/3), Good As Hell (6/1), Hurricane Georgie (15/2), Champagne Gold (17/2), Pakens Rock (10/1), Snugsborough Hall (11/1), Go Another One (11/1), Popong (14/1), Walking On Glass (16/1), Foxy Jacks (20/1), Pairc Na Ngael (40/1)

THE ABBEY arrives on the up and still looks weighted to complete a hat-trick despite being hiked up 11 lb for his most recent Limerick success. Go Another One is feared most on the back of his Cartmel victory, with veteran Pakens Rock another to consider now he is back on track.
