Dan Skelton throws as many as five at this valuable handicap, but ROYAL INFANTRY looks the clear pick. He perhaps didn’t progress as well as might have been expected following his facile win at Haydock in December but got back on track with a fine second at Perth on his final outing and returns as an unexposed sort off a potentially good mark. Last year’s winner Josh The Boss seems best fresh and could run a big race on his return, with the selection’s stablemate Joyeux Machin also shortlisted.
