PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
LIFETIME AMBITION won this race 12 months ago and returns in excellent form, having landed both starts this season at Castletown Geoghegan and Tattersalls. Dreal Deal pushed him to a neck on his return at Castletown Geoghegan and looks a major danger if the pair meet again. Life In The Park, a half-brother to the selection, also has strong claims after going down by just three quarters of a length to Hearts And Spades at Damma House. Magic Tricks won at Umma House before finishing fourth at Rathcannon, where Jack In The Box finished ahead of him in third.
