SHE’S LATE has won two of her last three starts over fences and reverts to the smaller obstacles. She won off a much higher mark over timber last year and gets the vote. Kelsey posted a better effort at Ffos Las recently and should be thereabouts again while Master Burbidge has a recent outing on the all-weather under his belt, though has shown little over hurdles so far. It's Oscar scored over track and trip in July but is 11lb higher and Agent Louise is preferred having landed a double earlier this year.
