In depth
Verdict
ARDGLEN absolutely ploughs through the mud as he did when scoring at Ballinrobe on Monday for which he has been raised 9lb. He's still 12lb below his hurdling mark and can continue his winning ways. Ponmeword is still a maiden after 14 starts and isn't reliable at his fences while Cerveza Dinero may need more experience as he was having only his third start over fences when falling here last week where the favourite Pocket Reader plodded on at one pace. Isourbell will love the ground and though still a maiden she's one to keep on the right side.
