Formscan  - 2024 Derby runner-up Ambiente Friendly is a fascinating hurdling debutant and he must enter calculations. However, James Owen's charge does have something to prove after finishing last in the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury in August and GAELIC PRIDE is more appealing. The five-year-old finished a respectable eighth in the Grade 2 Aintree bumper in April and should have learned plenty from his second-placed hurdling bow at Fontwell last month. Hold The Serve proved a ready winner of his sole point-to-point and is also of interest on his Rules debut.
