Smart bumper performer Montbazon kicks off his career over hurdles at Newbury.
Alan King's four-year-old won a valuable National Hunt Flat race at Doncaster in March, after which he finished second in a Grade Two at Aintree. He was most recently third at Cheltenham on his seasonal debut.
King is slightly concerned about the ground at Newbury, but is keen to get his new career under way in the First Great Western Maiden Hurdle.
"I'm looking forward to getting him started and he's going nicely," said the Barbury Castle handler.
"It's going to be the most testing conditions he has ever encountered - I think it will be pretty gruelling out there - but I've got to get him going."
