In depth
Verdict
Another Ambition is better known as a chaser and his last victory over hurdles was from a 13lb lower mark on this track almost two years ago. He's still likely to attract support with Tony Martin's yard in top form but this can go to AMAZON WARRIOR, who showed his first real sign of ability when runner-up to the well handicapped Cybersnow at Tramore. Closesthingtocrazy, whose best recent effort was over today's trip at Gowran Park in June when a good third to City Hustler, has raced over further subsequently and will be happier back at the minimum. Berkerys Treasure scored over the course and distance a year ago but the going was very testing that day and he would need the heavens to open up to be considered with his big weight. Winning point-to-pointer Easi On The Eye has shown a little ability over hurdles and Paul Carberry's presence in the saddle is a bonus.
