Formscan By Michael Graham - Stuart Crawford's AYIKO is unexposed over fences and could have a bit more upside than others. His second place in a beginners' chase at Haydock in December was a creditable effort. Gordon Elliott's Slanagaibhgoleir won a beginners' chase over a similar trip at this venue over Christmas. The form of his third on handicap debut at Gowran Park last month received a boost when the winner followed up in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel. Elliott also saddles Lucky Lyreen who has Jack Kennedy's assistance. He is a double winner in Down Royal, but has been plying his trade over further for the past year. I Am Lorenzo has to give weight away, but will be eyeing a cheque.
