AYIKO (4) finished 4. 5L fourth on second start tackling the larger obstacles in a competitive Carlisle handicap last month. Returns to shorter here and capable on best of his hurdle form. I AM LORENZO (1) scored making chase debut at Fairyhouse. Followed up with a fair third in a good novice (both races around 2m). Climbs in trip and still on an upward curve could be too strong for these. LUCKY LYREEN (2) was keeping good fences company before taking a course handicap two starts back. Lower in grade again here and might contend. SLANAGAIBHGOLEIR (3) provided a more positive start to chasing and can complete the frame.
