Verdict

Nigel Twiston-Davies is carrying the torch in this area of racing at the moment and Ardaghey can become the latest former pointer that makes a smooth transition to rules for him today. Oscar Foxbow and Portavadie are others that are bred for the game and can pose the selection the most problems. The former has the benefit of experience on his side and a bold bid cannot be ruled out. Still, he does need to find a little improvement and could be vulnerable to anything that possesses a turn of foot. Portavadie is related to a number of useful performers and can make an impact somewhere along the line. His yard have been amongst the winners of late and a move for him will be very interesting. However, Ardaghey hails from a stable that have set the standards in bumpers so far this season and it may be a little foolish to be jumping ship just yet.
