Forecasts

Warmer Days Ahead (5/1), The Rebel County (11/2), Glenmorefiftyfour (6/1), Barryroe Madam (8/1), Fire Coral (17/2), Lispendense (9/1), Ivane (10/1), Johnny Cakes (10/1), Fairytale New York (11/1), Justmadeit (11/1), Leroy Leroy (11/1), Nevereverever (14/1), Harveyshonor (14/1), Hit The Frame (16/1), Mourne Mist (18/1), Glenriver (18/1), Fassbender (20/1), We Will Rock You (33/1), Mighty Momentum (50/1)

Despite his advancing years, LISPENDENSE is lightly-raced in this sphere and is appealing on the back of an improved second on his handicap debut in this sphere at Cork. This step back up in trip will be no bad thing and he gets the nod ahead of Warmer Days Ahead, who has also raised his game since going down the handicap route. Johnny Cakes is also shortlisted.
