Verdict

Point-to-point winner CUP OF AMBITION can register a first rules success on his second outing in handicap company in this competitive hurdle event. Martin Keighley's charge was staying on under his amateur rider in a 2m contest prior to being hampered and unseating his rider two from home and he is taken to defeat Beau Du Brizais who races off a mark 4lb higher than when successful at Taunton last month with Royal Supremo, third last time out at Huntingdon the selection to claim third in this.
