Mrs Burbidge was beaten eight lengths off this mark at Plumpton when last seen over fences but she is fit from an all-weather campaign. Better ground may have suited EASTER IN PARIS but she won this last year off a 4lb higher mark and Paddy Brennan has been her regular partner since she joined Paul Henderson. Hepburn was beaten more than 20 lengths on her first run over fences at Wetherby but she should have improved for the experience, though is probably a few pounds too high. Lady Robyn didn’t show much over the larger obstacles last season and has a lengthy absence to overcome.
