Ardera Cross is a long way out of the handicap and Baron De Midleton was engaged in the 3.00 here yesterday. Return Ticket is a pound lower than when beating Malystic a neck in this last year, despite a first win since at Carlisle two weeks ago. Hasankey both made late headway behind Dancing On My Own at Aintree last week but Gold Des Bois looks held on the form book. FRERE D’ARMES may just have needed the run when beaten by Black Gerry at Ascot earlier this month and is given a chance to build on his promising novice form in the autumn.
