Loriko
Loriko is running with the kind of form that makes a trainer smile. The five-year-old has won 4 of its last 6 races — a burst of success that began only last week at Sedgefield — and is currently active after racing just yesterday. Over its 11-race career, it has won 4 times and placed another 10 times, a record that translates to winning roughly 1 in every 3 races and finishing in the money in almost every outing. That kind of consistency is the mark of a horse that knows how to handle itself under pressure.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Dan Skelton's Alcester yard, which has already sent out 198 winners this season alone, clearly knows what it is doing with Loriko. The horse broke its duck at Huntingdon in May and has been climbing ever since. What makes the recent form stand out is not just the volume of wins but the spacing — three wins sandwiched around places, suggesting a horse that is hitting the line at the right moments and keeping its form sharp week after week. Yesterday's race, coming so soon after that Sedgefield victory, shows Skelton is not resting on his laurels. He is running Loriko while it is hot, and the horse is delivering the goods.
