Formscan  - THE KALOOKI KID was not disgraced in a competitive Grade 2 novice hurdle at Doncaster last time and that form suggests that a mark of 124 may underestimate him on his handicap bow. Itso Fury is an obvious threat to the selection following his Wincanton victory on his most recent outing in November, while Rafferty's Return and Pentland Hills are others who make the shortlist.
