This looks much more competitive than the first division. Champagne Sparkles showed potential in bumpers and found 2m short of his best on his hurdling bow at Leopardstown. Winning bumper Fortune Street has also looked in need of this sort of trip on a couple of occasions while Hollywood West was a long way in front of the remainder when beaten 12 lengths into second at Gowran. Winning point-to-pointer LIFETIME AMBITION has been a beaten favourite in his last three starts but it will be a surprise if he's not there at the finish and he looks the one to beat. Part Time Farmer, a hugely expensive son of Westerner, makes his hurdling debut after three bumper runs and is one to keep an eye on.
