Kesta
Busy spell as a juvenile included wins in Brighton maiden (5.5f) and course nursery (5f, again good to firm); also stays 6f and landed series final at Nottingham (good to soft) in October; more exposed than most of these and finished last on his reappearance, however; drops back down in grade.

From the connections
“Kesta is another cheap purchase who Eve [Johnson Houghton, trainer] has done well with. He's not the biggest but he tries exceptionally hard, one day at Windsor he dead heated just because he refused to get beat. He travelled into that very well today and he's extremely genuine. I was very happy to just sit in behind, I was drawn in stall one so I was worried I might get stuck on the wing, but I was able to get a nice run in behind the leaders - Charles Bishop, rider.”
