Verdict
Infant Hercules has yet to run a bad race, including when stepped up to a mile last time at Beverley when he finished more than a length ahead of the re-opposing Eagle Eyed Freddie. Beverley winner Deep Impression was well beaten on her handicap debut at Catterick but Diamond Haze can’t be left out of calculations as he was a winner here last month before coming up against a well-handicapped Mark Johnston runner at Beverley. GALAH was left to plough a lone furrow at Newmarket after a close second at Beverley so that latest run can be ignored. Her dam liked soft going so connections will have been praying for rain over the last few days.
