Forecasts

The Kalooki Kid (3/1), Serious Operator (7/2), Ilanz (7/2), Itso Fury (17/2), Pentland Hills (9/1), Rafferty's Return (11/1), Brewin'upastorm (12/1), Foster'sisland (18/1), Russian Ruler (28/1)

A dual novice hurdle winner during the second half of last year, THE KALOOKI KID was far from disgraced when fourth in Grade 2 company at Doncaster 5 weeks ago and, with the step back up in trip a positive, he could be the way to go from what appeals as a workable opening mark. Itso Fury and Pentland Hills head up the dangers, with Serious Operator another expected to feature.
