Adrian Heskin feels Kilbree Kid will give him perfect start in new job

Co Cork jockey Adrian Heskin feels Kilbree Kid has every chance of giving him the dream start in his new role as stable jockey to trainer Tom George in the Lord Mansfield Memorial Handicap Chase at Perth today.

The 24-year-old will team up with the Slad handler for the first time in the extended two-mile-seven-furlong event when getting the leg up on the three-times course winner.

Although the Grade One-winning rider, who moved to Britain on Monday, has yet to partner the nine-year-old, he expects his previous course form to help bolster his prospects of giving the fledgling partnership the perfect beginning.
