Alaivan set for winning return
A listed winner on the flat, when trained by John Oxx, the Edward O’Grady-trained Kalanisi took to hurdling instantly, recording wide-margin victories at Gowran Park and Fairyhouse in his juvenile campaign.
Sandwiched between his maiden win at Gowran and a 17 lengths victory in a Grade 2 event at Fairyhouse in February was a defeat by the useful Carlito Brigante at Leopardstown over Christmas.
