Verdict

AMBITIOUS FELLOW is the one to be with at the weights, for all it's no certainty that he backs up his Champion Hunter fifth. There wasn't much to separate Solitary Man and What Path at Killarney, and it may be a similar story here, while Hunt Away could hit the frame on just his second start in this sphere.

7	Runner-up in the Connacht National at Roscommon this time last year and matched that form when fifth in the Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown latest. Not guaranteed to back up that form, but he's certainly the pick of these at the weights. 1st Pick 7 Ambitious Fellow (Ire) Jockey: Mr G. Devitt Trainer: Peter Fahey, Ireland J: Mr G.

2	Enhanced a fine Killarney record when winning a similar event by 1½ lengths from What Path last time. Worse off at the weights on this occasion, though has plenty of back class, and is expected to go well again with cheekpieces refitted. 2nd Pick 2 Solitary Man (Ire) Jockey: Mr J. M. Halford Trainer: Enda Bolger, Ireland J: Mr J. M. Halford T: Enda Bolger, Ireland	93	-	-	-	20%	4/1

11	Multiple point winner who travelled well when runner-up behind Solitary Man at Killarney on his hunter debut, and merits serious consideration, given he's better off at the weights with that rival. 3rd Pick 11 What Path (Fr) Jockey: Mr J.
