Ended last term on a high, landing mares' handicap chases at Newbury (2½m)/Punchestown (21f), and back to form this season when winning similar 4-runner event at Cartmel 4 weeks ago, beating a subsequent winner. Good chance she can defy 3 lb rise.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: T Collier| OR: 107

Forecasts

Lilith (4/5), Blue Hawaii (5/2), Good Look Charm (7/2), Noble Affair (33/1)

LILITH enhanced her excellent record in these events with a career-best win at Carlisle and this represents another good opportunity. Blue Hawaii has made a decent start to her career over fences and is a clear next best.
