In depth

Verdict

Miss Infinity is penalised 6lb for winning one of these events at Ayr recently. That should hand the advantage to LEONTES, who never threatened in the Windsor Castle at Ascot last time but could go close back at this level. Winning Ways was no match for the winner at Windsor on his debut but still finished well clear of the rest and is preferred to both Bengal Lancer and Sheila's Return. The newcomer Majeste has some fancy entries, Mjjack is related to a Listed winner and both are worth a second glance in the betting.
