Sheriff Garrett got back to winning ways last time at Newcastle and finished a place ahead of HAAFAPIECE (NAP) here previously. But, on 5lb better terms, the latter can reverse the form and record a third victory on the track with Ladronne, another course winner, and Alnadam better over fences. Pyramid Place may be running into form but hasn’t won in two years while New Found Fame was engaged in the 4.05 Chepstow yesterday. Doctor Dex holds Aramax on Doncaster running and looks the pick of the remainder
