In depth

Verdict

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.
