INNOCENT GIRL has a very good strike rate for a horse at this modest level so has to be a major contender returning from her summer break. On balance, she looks the one to beat. Swaledale Lad is running well at present and should be very much on the premises once again, while Bring Back Charlie has a squeak if we forgive his below-par effort last time out. Others to consider include Trapper Peak and Sky of Stars.
