Ardmayle was well behind long-standing maiden Lonimoss Bareliere at Southwell latest having won at the same track earlier. However, he would be thereabouts in a race like this if back on song. YELLOW JACKET was second on heavy going at Ffos Las when making his chasing bow. Sent off favourite that day, he is only a pound higher here and should recoup losses granted normal progress.
