GOOD BOY BOBBY won three of four starts in bumpers and made a winning debut over timber at Carlisle last month. He’s taken to defy a penalty for last year’s winning trainer and go in again. Mick Manhattan won a bumper here on his racecourse debut when just getting the better of Smiths Cross and both could go well while Remastered landed a bumper at Chepstow in February and is another to consider along with Lechlade Magician. Eceparti has won a chase in France and debuts for Venetia Williams.
