Infectious has more experience than the others in the line up and being related to smart juvenile performers she could play a part if she appreciates the step-up in trip. The market will provide the best guide to the chances of the newcomers but preference is for FIFTH IN LINE who did well on debut here. The pick was second behind Islesman over course and distance on her first run out and with the yard in good health she is taken to score. School For Scandal has some effective breeding and showed glimpses of ability on his first run for Mark Johnston. He could be capable of putting in a stiff challenge, whilst Rutland Boy wouldn't need to find too much to get involved after a promising third on debut here.
