Verdict
ARDMAYLE made little impression in a couple of starts over hurdles but made a winning start over fences with an easy win at Leicester last week. He can shrug off a penalty and is preferred to Instingtive. The latter has been raised 7lb for narrow-margin success at Plumpton in January while What's Up Rory posted his best effort so far over fences when runner-up in a handicap at Chepstow. Looks Like Power has won off a similar mark over hurdles and makes his chasing debut.
