In depth

Verdict

Bay Ambition is a 10-race maiden over fences but has not been beaten far the last twice and this is a very moderate event. She easily holds Rebel Early on their run here last month while Good As Hell has been finding testing ground against her after scoring on quicker going at Tipperary. SEANGOELL gained her only success to date over hurdles on heavy going but she is yet to score over fences. However, she had little chance in a Grade 3 at Limerick last time and she is on such a lowly mark that she gets the nod to upset the likely favourite.
