FormscanBy Gary Carson - COCOFRED (1) did well to get up and win in Killarney early last month and may be able to bag a follow-up success. The Vadamos gelding didn’t jump well at the business end then but stuck his head down late on to collar Firebrand. He only went up 3lb for that effort and is open to further improvement, especially with a better round of jumping. Firebrand makes his first outing for John Ryan now and remains on the same mark. He is sure to make a bold bid from the front again. Facile Ocean also comes here in winning form and is another that has to be on the shortlist.
