LION RING showed plenty of potential in three runs at Dundalk last year. He's joined an in-form trainer and could have more to offer now he starts life in handicaps on this side of the Irish Sea. The Waterman ran well last time at Salisbury and has to be respected. Highest Ambition could bounce back now he returns to tapeta.
