Forecasts

I Am Lorenzo (2/1), Patter Merchant (9/4), Beau Walking (9/4), El Barakah (16/1), Moylussa (16/1), Hearts And Spades (18/1), Tell Me Again (25/1), Hurricane Joey (200/1)

I AM LORENZO made a promising start at Leopardstown at Christmas and although he hasn't been seen since he's open to improvement and could be hard to beat if doing so. Patter Merchant is a useful recruit to hurdling for his top connections and demands respect.
