Infrasonique hinted at a return to form last time at Bangor and gets the vote here over Native Buck, Bramblehill Duke and River Trix. The selection has won from a mark of 120 so his 115 rating here catches the eye also. Native Buck won from a four-pound higher mark at Catterick in February of last year so holds a chance on that basis, while Bramblehill Duke has been given a chance again by the handicapper. Simber Hill is also well weighted on the best of his 2002 form, while River Trix is not far above his Plumpton winning mark. The likes of Jivaros and Lord Seamus certainly have improvement in them but we'll stick with Infrasonique to confirm the impression he left last time.
