Verdict

SIR GARFIELD arrives on the up and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his very good Redcar second. John L Sullivan wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Hamilton last time and could emerge as the main danger with in-form duo Braes 0f Doune and Vince Le Prince also in the picture.

  1. SIR GARFIELD (IRE)
  2. JOHN L SULLIVAN (IRE)
  3. BRAES OF DOUNE
