Lucky Lover Boy receives 14lb from the doubly-penalised RETURN TICKET and has the advantage of race-fitness. However, the Ruth Jefferson-trained runner remains a most exciting prospect and could ultimately prove to be a fair bit better than a 122-rated hurdler. The plan was always to give him the winter off the track as he requires a sound surface in order to be seen at his most potent. With the two-day Scottish Grand National fixture at Ayr on the horizon (April), he can take this race in his stride under the very capable 7lb claimer Aiden Blakemore before hopefully heading onto much better things.
