INFINITI has been rejuvenated by a switch to Kevin Frost’s yard and scored over hurdles before winning four of her last five outings on the Flat. She returned an easy winner at Ripon last week and can defy a 4lb penalty. Ludus remains unexposed having won at Yarmouth on his handicap debut and has been gelded subsequently while Gibside has been in good form over shorter trips and placed here last time. Choirmaster and Cappoquin have been thereabouts lately with the latter preferred.
