Useful hurdler on his day and winner off a mark of 132 at Newton Abbot (good) when last in action in that sphere earlier this month. Represents a leading jumps yard and one to note on Flat debut.

7/1

Placed twice from five starts including on heavy ground over an extended 1m at Nottingham last month. Fair effort when third of five over an extended 1m3f last time but likely more needed if he's to take this.

Forecasts

Golden Birthday (13/8), Military Parade (15/8), Lester Kris (3/1), Nelson's Touch (4/1), Towie (7/1), Ididitforyoooo (7/1), Soghan (7/1), Sir George Somers (10/1), Nevalyashka (14/1), Paco Filly (16/1), Kai Tak And Back (50/1), Kwikstep (200/1)

LESTER KRIS disappointed last time out but can return to form back on turf by taking this maiden contest. The selection has run well on soft ground over this trip in the past and can get the better of turf debutant Military Parade who disappointed when favourite last time and is making his AW debut today. Useful hurdler Golden Birthday can claim third on his Flat debut having won his last two starts over hurdles.
