Verdict

GARFIELD SHADOW was last seen winning a local Group 3 in Qatar back in November 2024 and was subsequently purchased by Wathnan. Despite not being seen for almost 600 days, the fact that James Doyle rides him over stable companion The Strikin Viking must augur well for the five-year-old, who is taken to make a triumphant return to action. Dark Cloud Rising benefited from the application of a visor at Ripon and has to be respected, despite a 6lb rise.
