Race preview
KALIUM appeared to bump into one at Ludlow in October and Tim Vaughan's gelding made no mistake at Wetherby last month. He is fancied to defy the penalty en route to further success. Andashan didn't make it past the first hurdle at Plumpton recently having been sent off a warm favourite but he remains of interest, while Malinificent, who showed promise on his hurdling bow at Leicester three weeks ago, is also noted.
