Formscan - LORIKO could prove hard to beat. Dan Skelton's charge is improving at a rate of knots, having won four of his last five outings, and he's taken to defy a 6lb penalty after dotting up at Sedgefield a week ago. Bold Light finished closer when beaten a couple of lengths at Perth last time and may give the selection most to think about, while Continuance could make the frame back at this lower level.
