moehat. Sportinglife recently altered their login procedures giving 3 ways to login. I just stick to my original Sportinglife login, though you can use a Skybet account as they are all under the same banner, with Timeform too.
Thanks. They don’t seem to recognise my original log in so I need to tweak it all a bit.
Moehat, I have the same problems with all log in methods with Sporting Life.
As for Ambient, I dont see him making it as a good hurdler, would not be surprised to see him chasing next season. Or a return to the flat for some staying handicaps.
Declared to run today at Plumpton. A sharp track may play to his strengths but I am not sure the uphill finish will.
I read he was going to race Plumpton, then go back to a flat campaign for Royal Ascot

That’s an obvious end to his hurdling career, unless they try him on really fast spring ground.
Agree ERL. There doesn’t look much point in persisting. He won’t settle and doesn’t look like he is enjoying it.
I like Plumpton but there is something a bit sad about seeing a horse which finished second in the Derby trailing in well beaten at the venue.
I think he settled better after a couple of hurdles but he doesn’t have the puff for it.
The more I know the less I understand.
Similar to how his flat career regressed in that until he consents to settle (highly unlikely given he seems to have learned nothing to date) he will ultimatley continue to fold at the business end of a race.
Will they have the stones to send him chasing at some point because he is fast running out of options as a racehorse and he doesn’t seem to be the type to go through ROR to do some other form of equine discipline like dressage/showjumping/cross country and not exactly the sort you would want to use as a hack either.

What do you do with him , he isn’t going to hit the heights as a hurdler , wonder what the likes of a Jim Goldie could do with him …
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
Absolutely useless, if he doesn’t rediscover any passion for the game. I wonder if there could be some interest from Asia, but why? The horse has shown no enthusiasm for either code.
2nd of 4 at Fakenham , i dont think anyone would be spending too much on float fees let along flights . Might win a race in Jersey .
He looks completely gone at the game.
It is rather sad. He looked good when he won the Lingfield Derby Trial. He then ran well at Epsom itself, when he arguably didn’t get the best of rides from a jockey on board him for the first time.
Now he is getting beaten at the likes of Plumpton and Fakenham. I suppose he was giving away a stone in weight last weekend but he should have been laughing at those horses.
It is no surprise he is being sold but who would want to buy him now?
It all depends on the price, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s retained by the current connections. Obviously he should have been in the July Sales 2 years ago, not that the Gredley’s need the money.
Would have have won at Fakenham after settling fairly well but given too much to do. Need to persevere on the flat and hope for the best. See he’s entered for the Magnet Cup (currently 100/1)
