In depth
Verdict
Infinite Sun was bang in contention when falling late on here last time and will contend if repeating that running. However, he was well behind SIX ONE NINE (NAP) when the latter scored in battling fashion at Sedgefield in April and it's hard to see the placings being reversed. Chris Grant's gelding has since confirmed he's going the right way over fences when a good second back at the Durham course and he makes plenty of appeal here with Oakley Brown's claim a plus. Aire Valley Lad has taken time to find form but suggested he was getting back on track last time and Totally Rejected would have a chance on the best of his form, though is proving inconsistent.
