LESTER KRIS didn't win for Richard Hannon but achieved a rating of 76 and looks to have been put in here on a very realistic claiming weight. He hasn't run since October so enthusiasm is slightly tempered and Riviere Argentee looks a threat. Karl Burke's filly has run over the course and distance three times and won twice. She was carrying 6lb extra at Musselburgh after scoring here but looked like winning until fading close home. What Usain has to have a chance at the weights though all of his five victories have been on the all-weather. His stable also run Bertie Moon, runner-up in a similar race at Lingfield though not in the best of form on Turf last summer. Shalamzar won a seller over hurdles here in December but will probably find the ground too quick.
