Formscan  - Sir Garfield hasn't finished outside of the top two on each of his last five outings, most recently finishing second at Hamilton, and he should remain competitive. However, EXPERT AGENT bounced back to form when victorious at Newmarket last month and is just 4lb higher. With Stuart Williams' yard in fine form at present, he looks the one to beat. Animate is another to note after his second at Ripon.
