Swaffham Bulbeck faces nothing like the kind of rivals he did in the Victor Ludorum at Haydock in February, and is an interesting runner North of the Border for Olly Murphy. However, the hurdles debut of RETURN TICKET has been eagerly anticipated since he created a most pleasing impression in winning a Catterick bumper in December. His trainer Ruth Jefferson saddled a double at Hexham on Saturday evening, and should comfortably add another winner to her early season tally here.
