3yo who made it four wins from his six starts when scoring at Chester (6f, good) in July, and he's been a close third the next twice (6f/7f, good); won on debut on good to soft (unraced on softer); he could still have more to offer and may be in the shake-up this afternoon.

Garfield Shadow

9st 7lb

J: Oisin Orr

T: Richard Fahey

3yo with an excellent strike-rate; has a 2-2 record at Chester and notched a personal best when gamely making most from stall 1 over C&D (good) five weeks ago; not so well drawn this time but he's up only 2lb and should put up another bold show.

Form & Verdict
Tailed off on debut but showed much more on his second start, going down by a head at Beverley (5f, good) in July; respectable third at Musselburgh last time but needs to get back to his best to win.

C&D winner; the odd encouraging run on turf this year, including at Hamilton last month (5f, soft), but he will need more if he is to come out on top tonight.

Form & Verdict
Looked good when winning at Newmarket on his debut in April (5f, good to soft); midfield finish in the Listed National Stakes when last seen in June, dropping away quickly in the closing stages; big player if refreshed by a break.

J: Jack Mitchell

Had some useful form last year, including on soft, but he has yet to find his best in three runs in a truncated 2025 campaign; 9lb lower than when midfield in this race last year; others look safer.

J: Rowan Scott

T: Gemma Tutty

Progressive last season when his two successes included the 3yo Dash on Derby day; missed the first half of this season and might have needed his first two runs back, never-dangerous fourth of ten at Haydock on latest; raced only at 5f but may now be ready for this step up in distance; still relatively low mileage and not ruled out.

J: Sam James

T: Gemma Tutty

Progressive for Gemma Tutty last season, winning the 3yo Dash on Derby day and posting a personal best when beating nine rivals in this contest (just 1lb higher today) 12 months ago; weak in the market and might have needed the run after over ten months off when only sixth of eight here on reappearance; big player if building on that.

Too green to do himself justice on debut in July but gelded afterwards and took a step forward when fourth of nine at Lingfield (5f, AW) 18 days ago; stiffer test at the trip will suit and he's capable of better.
