Forecasts

Goodnightngodbless (10/3), The Abbey (7/2), Earths Furies (5/1), Battle Of Mirbat (6/1), Lord Gillygooley (17/2), Oscer Romero (12/1), Influential Lady (12/1), Centurion Steel (14/1), Outside The Door (16/1), Presenting Point (20/1)

THE ABBEY had loads to spare when landing a 12-runner event at Down Royal recently and is worth a chance to follow up at the likely expense of fellow last-time-out winner Goodnightngodbless. Earths Furies is another one to consider.
