Race preview
Champion Bumper eighth ROYAL INFANTRY wasn't at all disgraced at the Festival, having gone into it with victories at Doncaster and in Listed company at Newbury behind him. His trainer has already shown himself to have a fairly strong hand with novice hurdlers so far this campaign and the five-year-old could be yet another exciting prospect. Kap Ouest's second at Uttoxeter in May was a fair effort considering he pulled hard behind a subsequent Grade 2 winner, while Plantaroma's bumper form entitles her to respect.
