PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
Runner-up in the Connacht National last summer, AMBITIOUS FELLOW could make a winning first appearance in the point-to-point fields here. Now a ten-year-old, he has also scooped a valuable pot at the Galway Festival, and is an interesting addition to this sphere. The progressive Beau Walking has been rising through the ranks this season, winning three times, including an open in Comea on his penultimate start, when he had the potentially reopposing mare over five lengths behind him, whilst Focus Point returns following a lengthy absence, but has gone well fresh in the past.
