Activial attracts Ladbroke support

Garde La Victoire has been left with top weight following the five-day confirmations for The Ladbroke at Ascot on Saturday, in which a number of contenders have come in for support.

The Philip Hobbs-trained Greatwood Hurdle winner is at the head of the pile following the defection of Zamdy Man, who ran at Cheltenham at the weekend.

The five-year-old is third-favourite with the sponsors at 8-1 together with the Willie Mullins-trained Clondaw Warrior, who was third in the Greatwood. Sign Of A Victory is clear market leader at 5-1.
