Forecasts
Lips Freedom (11/8), Cocofred (10/3), Firebrand (10/3), Le Roi Du Livet (4/1), Belladaball (8/1), Rosenborg (11/1), Celtic Alliance (18/1), No Mon No Fun (28/1)
Cases can be made for most of these, but LIPS FREEDOM resumed his progress when going down narrowly at Navan recently so Andrew Kinirons' 6-y-o earns the tentative nod returned to novice company. Cocofred can't have been right on his handicap debut, so he's worth another chance to get back on the up here, with Firebrand and Celtic Alliance taken to fight out minor honours.

- COCOFRED (IRE)
