    Verdict

    THE KALOOKI KID wasted no time proving himself a better chaser than hurdler, looking the winner a long way out when landing this race last year, and he can build on his 2 runs this season to get back to winning ways. He is taken to get the better of Insurrection, who ran well at this C&D on return, while Traprain Law can also give another good account.

    The Kalooki Kid silk

    Improved for the switch to fences last term, jumping well when recording back-to-back wins including this same race. After a further 2 months off from this season's return, respectable fifth of 9 back here on New Year's Day and could be set for a bigger effort in his title defence.

    Insurrection (Ire) silk

    Dual winner over hurdles and better form sent chasing last season, running out a wide-margin winner of C&D novice handicap at this meeting. Not in the same form next 2 starts, but after 8 months off he got back on track when third in handicap here on New Year's Day. Respected.

    Traprain Law (Fr) silk

    Had a good first season over fences in 2023/24, winning 2 of his 5 starts. Couldn't add to his tally last term but has returned in good order, getting back to winning ways at Wetherby 5 weeks ago. Can go well again having finished third in this race last year off 3 lb higher.
