Ambassador won twice here in July and Joshua Thompson’s 10lb claim will aid his cause today, though he may not be the most consistent and was behind Leopolds Rock here two weeks ago. Pittsburg reverts to hurdles 2lb lower than his chase mark but 10lb higher than when last seen over the smaller obstacles. ISABELLA BEE’s close second at Newton Abbot last month could not have worked out much better with the winner and third fighting out a finish at that track again on Monday. She’s still unexposed in handicaps and her yard continues to rattle in the winners. A Shining Moon is another with scope but Only Fools has become hard to place.
