Ambitious Fellow
4-16 over hurdles but yet to win over the bigger obstacles (0-11); out of sorts this year but he was a 1.25l runner up in this race last year off this mark at 25-1 and he was running a better race when unseating at Listowel last time.

From the connections
“Ambitious Fellow lost his form and there was an issue with him after he ran at Limerick last year, but he looks back to himself now. I was worried about the ground but it worked out great - Peter Fahey, trainer.”
“Ambitious Fellow has great form and he was unlucky [when brought down] at the Galway festival, with the rain also coming. He's a novice for this season in the UK because of the timing of his Punchestown win. He has plenty of experience and the trip of two miles and five furlongs at Cheltenham in November would suit him. Once the ground goes soft he'll get a break - Peter Fahey, trainer”
“Ambitious Fellow was bought to be sold but we brought him across to Doncaster and couldn't get anyone to buy him - Peter Fahey, trainer.”
