4/1
Useful chaser who has a terrific strike rate since joining this stable, winning 5 times. Stiff task when well held in a Cheltenham Festival handicap last time but much respected now returning to calmer waters back over hurdles.

Won sole start in points last year and confirmed promise of eye-catching hurdling debut up in trip when landing 21f Warwick maiden 22 days ago, leading 3 out and driven clear. Open to further improvement.

11/2
Fair Flat winner who quickly opened his account over hurdles for new yard at Doncaster in January on the back of a wind op. Finished rather weakly there next time and failed to improve switched to a handicap at Fakenham latest. Up in trip.

Successful in a point bumper and showed promise under a positive ride when fourth in conventional one at Worcester (2m). However, well held completed start over hurdles subsequently. Off 178 days.

9/2
Proved a different proposition when landing a well-run maiden at Sedgefield (16.8f) in February. Similar form when second in a 4-runner affair at Newcastle but more needed up in trip.

Verdict

FLAMING AMBITION confirmed the promise of his eye-catching hurdling debut when scoring in good style at Warwick 22 days ago and is selected to follow up with further improvement on the cards. Fire Away has to be well respected now back in much calmer waters over hurdles.
