Forecasts

Dairy Force (7/2), Hopeful Hero (4/1), Only For Our Man (4/1), Bruant (6/1), Mo Ghille Mar (7/1), Kilt (8/1), Kazakh D'arthel (9/1), Small Bucks (10/1), Lips Freedom (10/1), Whispering Willow (14/1), Home By The Sea (16/1), Certamen (25/1), Bannow Blaze (25/1), Your Call (33/1), Golden Wings (50/1), Viceregent (80/1)

Verdict

Several hold claims but the class-dropping LIPS FREEDOM is worth a chance to bounce back. Hopeful Hero had excuses at Galway last time and can resume his progress ahead of Bruant in the run for the places.

  1. LIPS FREEDOM (GER)
  2. HOPEFUL HERO (IRE)
  3. BRUANT
