Trainer Andrew McNamara is in good form at present (2/5) and his representative in this maiden hurdle FIRST CLASS TICKET can make a winning seasonal debut. The selection placed on good ground last summer and is taken to get the better of his rivals here with Sally Park who was successful twice in bumper capable of claiming second. Of the remainder bumper winner Captain Zebo, a disappointment on heavy ground on hurdles debut should be suited by the better ground forecast here and he can claim third.
