FormscanBy Gary Carson - LIGHTKEEPER brings recent winning form into this and may be able to follow up. The Walk In The Park gelding appreciated the better ground when scoring easily at Down Royal 18 days ago. The handicapper hit him with a 12lb hike for that victory but he's still relatively unexposed over fences and looks capable of scoring again. Clifftop was third behind the selection then, on his return to action, and with the run under his belt he may get closer now at the revised terms. French import Letos is the unknown quantity in the field and it will be interesting to see how he fares off his initial Irish mark.
