ARDMAYLE has been dropped a further 3lb since his fourth at Lingfield and is also eased in grade. A dual winner over fences, he has shown ability over hurdles and should give supporters a run for their money on ground that suits. With Pleasure has won twice on the Flat and his second at Chepstow was his best run so far over hurdles, though the drop in distance might count against him. Admiral Kid and Bertie Barnes both have an absence to overcome but All Is Good will strip fitter for a run at Ascot and Equus Millar is thoroughly unexposed. Peppay Le Pugh and My Boy James may be best of the rest.
