AMBROSE HILL LAD showed promise when third on his debut at this track last month. He just failed to hang on for second place, suggesting Paul Nicholls' charge will come on for the run, and he looks capable of opening his account here at the chief expense of Fergall. The latter also made his debut here when finishing fifth behind subsequent hurdles winner Shui Royale and looks sure to close, while Titch Strider is the third runner in the field to make a decent debut at this track, but she disappointed at Taunton last time. Debutant Swing Bowler is an aptly named daughter of Lady Cricket and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
