Forecasts

Ababil (5/4), Sharamm (13/2), Vasari (7/1), Quiet Endeavour (17/2), Sadeedd (12/1), Raahy (12/1), Shanaghai City (12/1), Scots Pine (12/1), Drummore (20/1), Wufud (22/1), Trickbag (28/1), Hyde Park (28/1), Grab And Run (40/1)

ABABIL returned in great form and is taken to complete the hat-trick in a tricky affair. Vasari makes most appeal of the remainder, while Quiet Endeavour shouldn't be ruled out.
