Yourholidayisover is not really getting any closer but Innocent Girl could be a possibility having won a couple of times between the flags since a moderate career over hurdles. Bandol beat Deise Vu by more than three lengths at Worcester but the runner-up is now 7lb better off and entitled to get much closer. MISS FORTYWINKS was still beaten 20 lengths when second on her chasing bow at Worcester in May but she's been dropped 5lb since and is thrown in if reproducing her best form over timber. Thankyou Very Much tackles fences for the first time but is not badly treated on his hurdles form and worth a market check.
