The majority have something to prove in a maiden but R S Ambush has held his own at this level and he has stronger credentials than most. WIND YOUR NECK IN did plenty wrong over C&D in March, in that he was hard to restrain early and his jumping was guessy on occasions, but he kept on well in pursuit of the warm favourite and should have some improvement to come.[Emily Weber]

Beat a subsequent Grade 3 hurdle winner when successful in Irish point, then made the frame in two bumpers; fair effort, although he didn't look the easiest of rides, behind odds-on Skelton runner in Warwick maiden hurdle (2m, good) on Saturday.
Minor hurdle form in Ireland; went close on AW (1m2f) in March, on second run for this yard, but he made it 0-21 on the Flat when unable to threaten at Chelmsford since; handicaps likely to be more suitable.
Now 0-13 and he failed to complete twice in September but he'd been running well previously and would have finished closer in a fairly competitive Taunton handicap (2m, good to firm) 19 days ago but for getting the last wrong; should come on for the run and be involved.
Useful triple winner at up to 1m4f on the Flat, most recently in 2023; ran moderately on hurdle debut in March but his latest second, to a warm favourite over C&D (good), was much better, despite proving hard to restrain early; open to improvement; now tongue tied.
