ARDMAYLE has a decent strike-rate over fences and took advantage of a tumbling mark to score at Southwell just over two weeks ago. He could well follow up here if in the same mood. Getaway North won twice here last year but hasn’t fired in two runs this term but Begoodtoyourself has had a break since pulled up here in December and Heritier could make a better chaser than hurdler with a similar comment applying to Coolmoyne. Go As You Please showed nothing after winning a four-runner race at Warwick last September however.
