Verdict
GARSMAN has made giant strides this year and, though raised another 3lb since narrow defeats at Windsor and Pontefract, has every chance of recapturing the winning thread with the booking of Cieren Fallon and a high draw both positives. Hot Affair hasn’t raced since November but she looked a speedy filly when beating Wednesday’s Yarmouth winner Poets Dance at Ripon last summer. Chairmanic won at Haydock at the start of the month but that was over 6f on soft going. Infinite Grace and Birkenhead filled the places behind Wonderwork at Haydock last month with Pontefract scorer Mews House preferred to Iva Reflection of the others.
