Verdict

SIR GARFIELD has shown improved form fitted with blinkers and sent handicapping this year, only narrowly denied at this C&D on Saturday, so he could be set to double his tally if making the quick turnaround. Novak ran encouragingly after a break at Newcastle 10 days ago and is respected, with Braes of Doune also considered if he lines up.

  1. SIR GARFIELD (IRE)
  2. NOVAK
  3. BRAES OF DOUNE
