Verdict

INFINITI only won a claimer over 7f here in October but this isn’t much tougher and she gets a token vote in an unappealing handicap. Pivotman won off a higher mark on the all-weather at the start of the year and Billy Bond is not badly treated having slipped down the weights along with Green Howard. London Glory should be sharper for last moth’s comeback run and Jeremy's Jet has his first start for Tony Carroll but has yet to win a race.
