In depth
Verdict
John Gosden boasts a fine strike rate at this course and INFINITUM can add to his tally. Not beaten far on her last three starts over today's trip she can finally register that elusive first win in today's company. Toptempo is not far behind her on official ratings and will be no pushover while Hallmark Star won't have to improve much on his earlier fourth at Newmarket to get involved. It's difficult to see any of the remainder having any influence on the outcome unless Hereford bumper winner Woodacre has enough pace to figure on his first start on the Flat.
