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.
