Verdict
LESSER has answered every call so far. A point-to-point winner, he easily won a bumper at Bangor before making a winning debut over hurdles at Wetherby last month. He’s preferred to the other penalised winners Rattle Owl and Gordon's Jet with the latter stepping up from 2m for this. The four-year-old Spantik was left clear when landing a maiden at Sedgefield while bumper winner Lanty Slea never figured on his hurdling bow.
