Sheriff Garrett bids for a fourth course victory and has to go on the shortlist again with his yard in terrific form. Pammi has enjoyed a good summer, winning three times, though all of those victories came at Perth. GLINGER FLAME won this last year racing off a 2lb higher mark. He looked to be coming to hand again before slipping up at Kelso and a repeat may be on the cards as the returning Bavington Bob has never encountered going this quick.
