Richard Johnson takes over the reins on Redemptorist though the latter will need to brush up his jumping after finishing third at Fontwell on his hurdling bow. He can figure but GOOD TIME AHEAD (NAP) showed plenty of promise on his hurdling bow and debut for new connections at Plumpton. He found only one too good having ran free on his first outing since September and Suzi Best’s new charge should make another bold bid. Postman looked likely to finish runner-up at here last time but fell att he last and should be in the mix once again while point-to-point second Wonderful Dreamer debuts under Rules.
