Verdict

Not much to go on here but Gordon Elliott's BRAND AMBASSADOR looks certain to come in for hefty support after his victory between the flags at Largy. He'll improve and is handed the vote though local trainer Ian Ferguson could provide a threat via the filly Onceuponathyme, who fell at the last when holding every chance on her debut at Limavardy in March. Honey Bach has shown ability while Francie Gwynne scored comfortably on fast ground at Limavardy before disappointing on much softer going at Loughanmore a month ago.
