Verdict
STEALTHY TOM loves it here and on the banks course at Punchestown where he won in February. He beat Foxy Jacks in a Roscommon handicap before the latter narrowly turned the tables in the Midlands National at Kilbeggan. Ballykeel's two chase victories have been in lesser company than this but Lifetime Ambition is a very smart stayer on his day whose last two runs have been in the Grand National and the Galway Plate. The Little Yank produced his best run over fences for a very long time when runner-up in a Listed contest here last month and none of the remaining quartet can be dismissed.
