Kalmini Set For Quick Return

Kalmini will bid to get her JCB Triumph Hurdle hopes back on track later this week following a fall at Sandown.

Trainer Sheena West wants the filly to make a quick reappearance before next month?s Cheltenham Festival after ensuring she was none the worse for her fourth-flight exit on Saturday.

'She?s absolutely fine, no problems, but she can?t go to Cheltenham off a fall like that - she?s got to do something else,' West told At The Races.

'She?s in at Huntingdon on Thursday (the Betfred Chatteris Fen Juvenile Novices? Hurdle) and there?s a novice at Exeter on Sunday, a Listed race, possibly as a back-up.

'We?ll wait and see what the weather is like - you?ve got to cover everything.

'One more run and then the Triumph Hurdle - fingers crossed.'

Kalmini, a 25-1 chance for the four-year-old juvenile championship on March 17, had won her two previous hurdle races at Huntingdon and Taunton
