Forecasts
Abacadabras (10/11), Blue Sari (6/4), Embittered (5/1), Easywork (8/1), Heaven Help Us (25/1)
In the likely absence of Thursday's Limerick winner Easywork, this should develop into a battle between Abacadabras and BLUE SARI. The former has the better hurdles form, but Blue Sari got closer to beating Envoi Allen at Cheltenham in March, and is an exciting and unexposed hurdler who could offer value in the circumstances.
