Verdict

LILITH returned to form when winning this race last year and may well repeat the dose this time round having slipped to a handy mark. Indeed, she's 4 lb lower compared to 12 months ago and the first-time visor/prospect of a soft lead are other factors which could potentially help tilt the scales in her favour. Royale Margaux will be a big threat if reproducing the form of her Cheltenham effort in December and she is feared most ahead of Game On For Glory.
