Forecasts

Abi's Champ (4/9), Arabian Diamond (3/1), Mount Gallion (4/1), New Sheriff (8/1), Fathom Two (12/1), Wholly Boley (16/1), Party Rocker (28/1), Ballybit (33/1), Jackpot Lad (33/1), Moneynabane (80/1)

ABI'S CHAMP made a promising start when runner-up at Punchestown 5 months ago and, with improvement on the cards, she's expected to go one better at the likely expense of Arabian Diamond, who filled the same position at Kilbeggan recently. The others need to up their game if they're to feature.
