Verdict
GARNOCK can make the most of favourable terms and open her account over timber. She was beaten only a short-head in a maiden hurdle at Fontwell in May. Thespis Of Icaria ran well for fourth at Ffos Las in his first start since 2011 and Man Of Steel finished runner-up in a novice event here a fortnight ago. They both have claims but the remaining pair look up against it.
