ARDMAYLE can follow up his Leicester success dropped in trip here. The likely ground conditions shouldn't inconvenience the selection and he showed improved form when ridden with more restraint than had been the case previously for that success. The selection hails from an in form yard with a 33% (2/6) strike rate in recent weeks and he can get the better of the well supported Chepstow runner-up What's Up Rory and Instingtive who is another to represent an in form yard.
