Tony Martin won this contest last year with Northern Alliance, when that horse was rated 88 and is now rated 123 in Ireland. Another Ambition holds a very similar profile to the aforementioned horse having attained his handicap rating on ground that could be described on ground no better than a bog. He raced on a sounder surface last time and although travelling well he appeared as if he failed to stay the 2m 5f trip. Back to 2 miles today, the market should tell tell the full story prior to the off but the assumption is a mark of 92 is a blot on the handicap and therefore Another Ambition is extremely hard to oppose. Cast Iron Casey turned over the short priced Mr Jack Daniells last time out but this will be tougher off top-weight. On a line through Mr Jack Daniells, Tranos has it all to do with Cast Iron Casey but has the benefit of Graham Lee's services today. Danehill Silver ran a blinder in defeat behind Weather Front but will need to step up again to land this. Should the anticipated market support arrive for Another Ambition, he should land this.
