MR BANKS makes his hurdles debut tomorrow at Stratford in the 5.15 for Cropredy Lawn Racing and Paul Webber and is generally a 14/1 shot. Fourth and third in two Huntingdon bumpers, the 5yo son of Kalanisi has schooled well at home under Charlie Poste who is on board for the extended 2m 2f maiden hurdle. Previous racecourse experience over the obstacles will benefit the likes of One Style, Mister Kalanisi and Welcome Bach while Three Ways has ability judged on his bumper win at Carlisle.  Jonjo O’Neill’s newcomer, Urban Moon was useful on the flat, is a full-brother to Telescope and could also take a hand if taking to the jumping game. Hopefully, Mr Banks will have a nice introduction to his hurdling career and will have more behind him than in front by the finish.
