Forecasts

Abi's Champ (4/6), Roedora (5/2), Feron Lake (9/1), Jazzwing (14/1), Dark Image (18/1), Dorset Lady (18/1), Mill House Creek (25/1), Village Lady (25/1), Haley Grove Bonnie (80/1), Hero In The Sky (100/1), Onefortheditch (125/1), Light Lady (200/1), Magical Lass (200/1)

ABI'S CHAMP looked a good prospect when landing the odds in fine style at Downpatrick and can defy a penalty. Fellow-penalised winner Roedora is the obvious threat with Dorset Lady best of the others.
