Jet To Vegas (9/4), Insurrection (3/1), The Kalooki Kid (10/3), Breizh River (15/2), Tommy's Oscar (10/1), Inox Allen (12/1), Rexem (22/1), Bleu D'enfer (25/1), Malystic (33/1)

A progressive 2-time winner over fences during 2024/25 (including over C&D) THE KALOOKI KID ought to be all the better for his respective return to action at Carlisle back in October and, with the prospect of more to come on the back of just 5 starts in this sphere, he could well be the answer. Jet To Vegas has made a sound start to his chase career and is respected on his handicap bow. Insurrection and Tommy's Oscar rate next best.
