Race preview
KALABALOO ran well for a long way at the Cheltenham Festival last year, a mistake four out ultimately putting paid to any chance of figuring on that occasion. Before that she had impressed when winning a pair of Alnwick contests between the flags and a repeat of that level of form could be enough here. The nine-year-old has a fantastic record fresh and she represents a top handler from the pointing field. It has been a long time since Carter Mckay has been running in graded contests, but the 10-year-old's reputation and his undoubted ability on his day is foolish to ignore here. African Belle and Senor Lombardy were both winners at Alnwick on December 13th and are others who can't be ignored.
