        Verdict

        GREAT AMBASSADOR never figured in a valuable sales race at Doncaster last time but was narrowly beaten in all three previous outings. Rated 87, he should have the measure of these and a first-time tongue-tie may also bring improvement. Kumasi finished a lot closer at Newcastle recently and should be in the mix. He looks the main threat unless one of the newcomers proves above average with Dublin Pharaoh, a half-brother to the useful Shumoos, preferred to Morning Shadow, Seventeen O Four and Alphabetical.
