Connections of Lifetime Ambition, winner of the featured Grade Three BetVictor Hugh McMahon Memorial Novice Chase on Sunday’s card in Limerick, are hopeful the seven-year-old could develop into an Aintree Grand National horse.

Following his winning chasing debut, in November at Down Royal, he was sent off favourite for the Drinmore but was unable to confirm the form with Beacon Edge. Beaten a couple of times in the interim, he was back on better ground and in easier company this time and ran out a comfortable winner for Robbie Power.
