Verdict
ARCTIC AMBITION is first reserve but would be the choice if getting a run. Gordon Elliott's charge has been in good nick over fences in recent weeks and now reverts to hurdles where he is rated no less than 27lb lower. If transferring his chasing level to timber, he would have a leading chance. If he doesn't get a run the vote would go to Sheephaven Flyer, who stayed on steadily on just his fourth hurdling start and handicap bow when third at Downpatrick this month.Dylan Lombardy has returned to hurdles after just a solitary spin over fences while All Walks Of Life may prove better than he's shown to date in half a dozen starts over hurdles and is another one to note in the market.
