The vote goes to AMBOYNA, who held every chance when exiting at the final flight on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse during the winter and she should be spot-on following a spin in a bumper back from a seven-month break at Punchestown in June. Gorvitho shaped well on his sole start on the Flat in France and on first run in this sphere over C&D in November. He rates the main danger ahead of bumper winners Cosmos d'Ainay and Strong Link, while Teenage Kiss also needs a second look.
