Hereford each-way tip: Ardmayle can defy outsider odds on chasing return

The three market leaders all carry realistic hopes of landing this eight-runner affair, with top-rated Guy likely to be sent off as favourite for the in-form Twiston-Davies yard.

This capable nine-year-old landed blows at Ludlow and Fontwell either side of his summer break, and while less impressive in four subsequent outings, he could be primed to bounce back as he drops below the mark at which he won on season debut in October.

Wewillgowithplanb and Jupiter Du Gite should be there or thereabouts, but with all three market leaders hovering around the 3/1 mark, the value of each is questionable, and that has led a clutch of Tipstrr’s each-way specialists to venture down the betting where Ardmayle is lurking at a tasty price.

This Ali Stronge-trained veteran is lightly raced these days, but he made the most of his three outings as an 11-year-old last spring, backing up a Southwell win in February with a course-distance win here two months later, rallying well under his ageing legs to win by a neck.

He was given a pipe-opener over hurdles at Ascot just before Christmas, clearly needing the run on season debut after an eight-month absence, and was duly held up in the rear and treated gently once the race was beyond him.

Better things are expected now that he reverts to larger obstacles, and he could well punch above his favourable mark under in-form Ben Jones, whose 17 percent win rate (49 percent place rate) has produced over 50 units of profit against the market so far this season.

Suggested bet: Ardmayle each-way in the 14:30 at Hereford
