Formscan - Just the two runners and with the pair making their debuts over fences and the chance of a tactical race, anything could happen. Both have been known to front run, but Ben Pauling has his horses in the better form so PERSONAL AMBITION gets the nod. He does have a few pounds to find on hurdles ratings with Lookaway, but he is lightly raced and could go on to be even better over the larger obstacles. His rival, also a Grade 2-winning novice hurdler, has an exciting future at this game too.
