Verdict

INFINITUM is likely to start a short price to open her account. She looks sure to improve for the longer trip having chased Reyamour, who has won again since, all the way to the line at Salisbury on her debut - John Gosden's filly is the one to beat on that evidence. Adeste and Bite Of The Cherry are closely matched on their running at Newmarket in May and the former has gone very close since while Amaraja makes more appeal than stablemate Jorum after a better effort at Kempton last time. Rose Season was worn down in the closing stages at Chepstow last month and should get involved again.
