Tara Mac has won over hurdles and fences recently but looks vulnerable off this higher mark. MRS BURBIDGE (NAP) beat Solstalla over 2m here in September on her last start over hurdles and is only 2lb higher. She’s been placed over fences and on the all-weather since so will lack nothing in fitness. Marvellous Monty should also be thereabouts and Mirzam is probably on a fair mark. Undisputed is another to consider but Libby T Valance has been difficult to train since landing a bumper here in 2016.
