A new lease of life since joining Harry Fry, with four wins in eight starts. Going well in both codes lately and well-handicapped for this switch to hurdling.
Won over 3m a Taunton in February but hasn't looked as good since, including twice around here. Dropping right back in trip and will sport first-time blinkers.
Yet to place in five starts and shown almost no level of ability. Handicapper appears to have been cautious with her mark and very little in her favour here.
Winner three times on the Flat but well beaten in four runs over hurdles so far. Latest came when beaten 23L over 2m at Uttoxeter last month, all to do seemingly.
Winning point-to-pointer who produced her first piece of reasonable form over hurdles when second here in June in maiden company. Has gone backwards in two runs since at Worcester and hard to assess now.
Yet to find a place in seven career starts, six of them over timber. She's been off for the best part of 700 days and gone back to former trainer in that time. Market check needed but big ask surely.
Hasn't shown much so far but on breeding, chasing could be her game so may improve. Fifth here in April hinted at better to come, so may go better than likely big odds will suggest.
Twice a winner in Jersey early this year, has struggled to repeat that back under the spotlight and two most recent efforts have been laboured. Hard to be confident in chances.

Forecasts
Innocent Girl (4/6), Camaplu (7/2), Ambre Des Marais (5/1), Moontripper (11/2), Our Phillie Lily (12/1), Little Lotte (16/1), Avithos (16/1), Civitesses (20/1), Distant High (25/1)
This isn't a strong contest and there's a good chance INNOCENT GIRL has it within her compass. She's likely better over fences but gets a fair crack at this off her reduced hurdling mark. Avithos has been out of sorts recently, but the blinkers might help turn things around while Camaplu has scope for better after just four starts. Long-time absentee Ambre Des Marais merits a market check on return to action.
