Innocent Girl, who has been finding one too good over hurdles and fences, is better handicapped over the smaller obstacles. Conna Cross spent most of his time racing over hurdles when trained in Ireland but made a successful debut for new connections over fences at Kempton and should have more to give. Admiral's Secret has battled to narrow victories at Ludlow and Bangor but is now 7lb higher over this longer trip but TRIPLE CHIEF won by 10l the last time he ran over fences and, as he likes this track, can give Bryony Frost another victory.
