Verdict
Sheriff Garrett is possibly the best of those with hurdling experience but this is not a particularly competitive opener and a good opportunity for ARTHUR MAC. Philip Hobbs and Tom O’Brien were teaming up to good effect during the week and this son of Getaway is bred for jumping and ran in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April after winning at Hereford. Fortunes Hiding is also a bumper winner and from a yard still firing in the winners while Ain't My Fault won a maiden point in Ireland in May and looks the pick of the remainder.
