Most of these can be given a chance though both Cornerstone Lad and Good Time Ahead step up in trip after winning over 1m4f on their respective latest starts. Eyreborn was placed over 1m5f at Ayr recently while Bodacious Name seems better over further. Silver Link has been thereabouts of late and Nordic Combined looked like landing a double over today’s trip at Haydock last time but downed tools close home and is not one to trust so the vote goes to SHERIFF GARRETT. The latter was beaten only a length over track and trip 10 days ago and should go close on that form.
