Formscan - KYKOROCK has improved plenty since going over the larger obstacles and arrives seeking a hat-trick after scoring at Warwick and Market Rasen. Dan Skelton's gelding doesn't appear to have reached his ceiling just yet and makes considerable appeal once again, despite going up another 7lb. Koukeo made a successful start over fences at Windsor on New Year's Day and has to be respected along with C&D winner Escapeandevade and Willie Shake Hands.
