Kalahari King

Showed nothing at Wincanton on debut and is very hard to fancy.

Out of a Flat winner and showed something to work on when fifth at Wincanton first time out. Could do better, so not a forlorn hope.

€5,500 3-y-o, Gatewood gelding. Dam, poor maiden hurdler, sister to smart hurdler (stayed 3m) Call The Cops. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Apr 23). One to note on Rules debut.

Forecasts

Quebecois (2/1), Jurancon (3/1), Ski Lodge (9/2), Saint Anapolino (7/1), Kalahari King (7/1), Ilfonce (12/1), Snapdance (25/1), Demelza Carne (33/1), Silver Chord (33/1), Nelson's Shadow (50/1)

QUEBECOIS fetched a hefty sum after finishing second in a point and he's joined a top stable so he's an obvious choice to make a winning Rules debut. Jurancon and Ski Lodge both arrive with experience between the flags, so they're considered feasible dangerous.
