Verdict

ARCTIC AMBITION boasts a good strike rate over fences and opened his account at the twelfth attempt in this sphere at Limerick just four days ago. He is now 2-3 under Danny Gilligan and, provided that this doesn't come too soon, the 8-y-o should prove very hard to beat under a penalty. Glenmalure Lodge remains winless following 17 attempts over hurdles but she's a live each-way player on the back of a solid effort here. Aliunde, Portland Row and Silverstrand are others with each-way claims.
