Sheriff Garrett has won twice over course and distance this year and reversed earlier form at the track with Cyrus Keep on the second occasion. ON A PROMISE could be interesting dropping back in distance and gets the nod with Maria Magdalena heading in the opposite direction having only raced around 2m so far. The step up in trip could also be a problem for the lightly-raced Mr Tambourine Man while Henry Sellers has had a break since winning at Punchestown for another yard. Franks Fancy has been chasing and is best watched.
