Return Ticket won an Ayr maiden in May and is from the yard that won this 12 months ago. However, he has to carry a penalty and that may have opened the door for GOOD BOY BOBBY (NAP) to make a winning start over timber. Nigel Twiston-Davies’ charge was only beaten once in four runs in bumpers and looks a bright prospect. Winning pointer Hitman Fred is another likely to win races over hurdles in time and The Some Dance Kid has already shown useful form between the flags and in bumpers. Weather Front has won four times on the Flat this year but didn’t shown much on his hurdles bow back in January.
