THE Pat Doyle-handled Lifetime Ambition (1/2 - 1/1 favourite) concluded his preparations for the Aintree Foxhunters, with an authoritative victory in the featured open lightweight at last Sunday’s well-attended North Galway Foxhounds fixture held at a sunny Belclare.

Concluding a treble for his rider Rob James and a double for his handler Pat Doyle, the 10-year-old was looking to supplement his success in a similar contest at Bellharbour last month in the six-runner affair.
