Burning Ambition⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr R James⁽⁷⁾| T: Pierce Power| D

7/4

Winner of his last four point-to-point starts before a facile 13L win on rules debut in a Limerick hunter chase over Christmas. Lots to like about the seven-year-old and likely to be the one to trouble Gilgamboa here.

Form: 211-111

Gilgamboa²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-0| J: Ms N Carberry| T: E Bolger| OR: 150| C| D

8/13

Classy chaser on his day and made a winning hunter chase debut on heavy ground at Down Royal before following up at Thurles last month. Capable of taking care of younger opposition.

Form: 2B-5211

My Murphy^p²¹

Age: 12| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr R O Harding⁽³⁾| T: W J Burke| OR: 140| D

20/1

Six time winner under rules and successful in a heavy ground point-to-point before finishing third of seven behind Gilgamboa last time out in a Thurles hunter chase. May have to settle for a place again.

Form: P82-313

Finished a head in front of Gilgamboa in a Mainstown point-to-point in December. Has been with the yard since last March but just makes rules debut for stable here.

Gilgamboa (8/13), Burning Ambition (7/4), Quiet Account (16/1), My Murphy (20/1), Ourmanmassini (20/1)

GILGAMBOA has been turning back the clock recently and appears revitalised since the switch to hunter chasing and is taken to land a hat-trick of wins here. There is a lot to like about the youngster Burning Ambition and he can give the selection the most to think about.
