Verdict

Some powerful yards attempting to chalk up that elusive first win for their respective charges and INFINITUM gets the nod in a competitive maiden. She's gone close on her last couple of starts, including at Newmarket last month, and wears her owner's first colours ahead of today's rival Yours Ever. The latter has also been placed of late though she found the 2m at Beverley beyond her last time and is preferred to both Tadmir and Moonship. The latter pair step up to middle-distances after modest debut efforts but Homeric looks a bigger threat as he improved to finish runner-up at Pontefract last time and has decent claims along with Chancery.
