GUTS FOR GARTERS took his time to get off the mark over fences but did so in good style when scoring over C&D last month with Not Before Eight and Kells Castle filling the places. An 8lb rise doesn't look excessive considering he won by nine lengths and Michael Hourigan's charge is taken to follow up in what appears to be a less competitive contest. Artiste Bay also won over C&D last time and has solid claims, while Lets Go Sunshine could figure if reproducing his best form on his return from a lay-off.
