      Verdict

      LIGHT INFANTRY lacks a recent win but has been competing with credit at the highest level, including a third to Inspiral in France last time. He finished in front of Chindit when placed in the Queen Anne at Ascot before that and is taken to get his head back in front. Zoology is upped in trip after finishing runner-up in the Jersey Stakes while Regal Reality has been in good form in Group 3 company and is preferred to the returning Sir Busker.
