A low-key finale in which Lizzie Kelly's mount Over And Above is sure to be near the head of the market. He won easily over fences at Sedgefield earlier this month but is 9lb higher and has never won over hurdles. Last month's Perth third Azure Glamour must have some sort of chance given he's lightly-raced while Danehills Well and Daring Exit could go well at decent odds. LILLY'S LEGEND was well backed and only found one too good stepping up to 3m at Uttoxeter last time. Dropped a couple of pounds since, she can recoup losses given her yard won this two years ago and has a good overall strike-rate at the track.
