Infiniti won five times last season but has struggled badly this year. HELLENISTA is only a pound higher than when second at Carlisle in June on similar going. Subsequent runs have been on good to soft and Tim Easterby’s mare has a good chance to end her losing run here. Of the three-year-olds, Fox Flame tries a new trip having shown her best form so far on artificial surfaces. Dragonball Prince is also upped in distance but Trooper Bisdee won over 1m6f at Bath before finding soft ground against him at Leicester. Cold Henry has crept up the weights this year without winning and may find one too good again.
