THE KALOOKI KID (10) created a strong impression tackling a similar trip during November. Possibly saved for this contest and may defy a 8lb higher mark up in grade. MARBLE SANDS (3) holds obvious claims racing 1lb lower than when runner-up to an impressive winner in a competitive handicap chase at Cheltenham a month ago. Impressive wide-margin Newbury winner SAINT SEGAL (7) may relish conditions and provide bold showing off this 9lb increased rating. Talented top-weight MINELLA DRAMA (1) cannot be left out down in grade.
