Formscan  - FIRST AMBITION is on the upgrade and the sky is currently the limit with this late-developing four-year-old. Unraced until this January, the son of Invincible Spirit - whose dam is non other than multiple Group 1 winner Laurens - showed a professional attitude when breaking his maiden at Newcastle, before posting an even more determined effort in a novices' event at Southwell last month. An opening mark of 91 suggests he is above average and he is the most intriguing option on his handicap/turf debut. Midnight Gun and Hawksbill are other key players.
