ARDHILL justified strong market support when bolting up over this sort of trip in first-time blinkers at Ascot 22 days ago and it's hard to envisage a 7 lb rise in the weights preventing a bold follow-up bid here. Glenquin Castle arrives in search of a remarkable eighth consecutive success over fences/hurdles and is next best, ahead of Wall of Fame.
