PAULING'S READY TO SET PERSONAL BEST

PERSONAL AMBITION (4.40) beat Tuesday's Arkle hero Jango Baie over hurdles last season and he's shown loads of promise in four chase starts.

He was unlucky not to beat prolific winner Mark Of Gold at Ascot just before Christmas when a blunder at the final fence cost him victory. That was harsh on Ben Pauling's (below) runner as he had jumped well in the lead before his costly error.

The drop to 2m around Windsor's sharp turns didn't suit him last time and he will love the step up to 2m4f with cheekpieces fitted for the first time to help sharpen him up. Have 2pts each-way at 20-1. Most firms are paying out on five places.
