Verdict

Successful over C&D on his first outing in July, SIR GARFIELD fared second-best of those with a single figure stall at Goodwood last time, so he's well worth another chance back here. He gets the vote ahead of Modern Times, who arrives on the back of a winning stable debut, with Ruby's Profit one to note for her new yard.

2	Better than ever when winning at Catterick and over this C&D (edged out the subsequent winner of Ascot's International Handicap) on first 2 starts this season. Hasn't been seen to best effect the last twice, poorly drawn at Goodwood, so no surprise to see him bounce back. 1st Pick 2 Sir Garfield (Ire) Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: John & Sean Quinn J: Jason Hart T: John & Sean Quinn	100	-	-	-	42%

7	Fitted with cheekpieces making first run since leaving Tim Easterby, was nicely on top at the line when doubling his tally in 12-runner handicap at Southwell 18 days ago. Respected with more still to offer for his new yard. 2nd Pick 7 Modern Times Jockey: David Probert Trainer: James Owen J: David Probert T: James Owen	96	-	-	-	34%

1	Won twice over 5f last spring before good third in the 3YO Dash here on Derby Day. Hasn't been at her best so far this season, but she's down to a handy mark as she makes first run since leaving Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole. Interesting contender. 3rd Pick 1 Ruby's Profit (Ire) Jockey: Kieran Shoemark Trainer: Tom Ward J: Kieran Shoemark T: Tom Ward	94	-	-	-	15%
