In depth
Verdict
AMBASSADOR had undergone wind surgery since beaten in an all-weather bumper last month. Placed in both previous outings over hurdles, he has the edge at the weights in this. Warranty has a shout on an earlier third at Sandown and State Crown went close at Newcastle when last seen in juvenile company. Salamanca School posted a better effort at Newbury last time while Wise Glory started life over hurdles in a Listed contest and will find this easier. Jen's Fella debuts in this code having failed to win on the Flat.
