FormscanBy Alan Magee - ARCTIC AMBITION won over this trip at Tramore on New Year’s Day for Robert Tyner and may have just needed the run on his first start for new connections at Down Royal earlier this month. The selection made a couple of mistakes and perhaps didn’t quite see out the three miles when third to Final Orders. Goodnightngodbless has been a frustrating sort to follow over fences but has dropped down to an attractive mark, while Difficult Decision has a recent course win to his credit. He was prominent throughout when scoring over 2m2f but has shown over hurdles that he stays further. Oscer Romero won three times over hurdles at Ballinrobe last year and indicated a return to form when beating all bar Temptationinmilan over fences at Listowel.
