Altitude restrictions

On the Lorel arrival to Stansted the procedure has an altitude restriction of FL200 at PEDIG and FL150 at CLIPY. We are usualy cleared to decend 200 by PEDIG and then handed over to 119.77. As soon as we check in we are invairably recleared FL150 by CLIPY.

My question is does the previous 200 by PEDIG still apply or has it been superceeded by the 150 CLIPY?

At the moment I still make the 200 at PEDIG and then slow the decent to make the 150 by CLIPY. If however the PEDIG restriction has been superceeded I could just adjust imediatly to make 150 at CLIPY and keep a continuous decent profile. What are you ATC guys expecting?

Ta!
