Infiniti finally won over hurdles at Leicester in December and is only 3lb higher. This is Wor Verge’s level and he’s placed over fences and in a jumpers’ bumper since last seen over hurdles. Susan Corbett’s gelding placed at Sedgefield a year ago off a 7lb higher mark so must have each-way claims at worst but it’s difficult to get away from FOSTER’SISLAND, who bolted up at Carlisle at the start of the week and should have few problems defying a penalty if in the same mood. Burrows Diamond may be best of the rest.
