Forecasts

I Am Lorenzo (7/4), Le Kap (2/1), St Lawrence's Well (10/3), Kovanis (9/2), Kaiser De Chanay (18/1), Oaks Soldier (33/1), Simple Old Game (150/1), Something Simple (150/1), Who's The Dancer (150/1), Apalachiyeats (250/1), Gethegoodtimesroll (250/1), Casafierna (300/1)

I AM LORENZO found a Grade 1 at Leopardstown too much of an ask on his final run for Gavin Cromwell last term but had gone with plenty of promise prior to that and can make a winning start for Paul Nolan on his seasonal return. St Lawrence's Well (second choice), Le Kap and Kovanis are all in good hands and look to have better days ahead of them so can fight it out for minor honours.
