Lifetime Ambition (4/6), Bugs Moran (4/1), Early Doors (9/2), Hollow Games (11/2), Bartlemy Boy (13/2), Plan Of Attack (14/1), Pat Coyne (25/1), Dundaniel (40/1), Carrig Wells (80/1), Grange Island (125/1), Fox Hardaway (125/1)

LIFETIME AMBITION arguably should have won the Aintree Foxhunters and might have too much class for this opposition. Bugs Moran made a promising start to his hunter career at Cork 3 weeks ago and is second choice ahead of Hollow Games.
