Clifftop Heaven (7/4), Infiniti (7/4), The Resdev Way (4/1), Sufi (6/1), First Blood (22/1), Our Cilla (80/1), Amani (200/1)

INFINITI is thriving at present and weighted to complete a quick four-timer saddling a 4 lb penalty for her cosy Chepstow success nine days ago. Veteran The Resdev Way is also enjoying a good season and appeals as the one to chase home Kevin Frost's mare, with Clifftop Heaven another who can have a say in the battle for minor honours.
