In depth
Verdict
Glorious Lady has yet to figure over fences but LILITH ran well for a long way over 3m at Ffos Las on her chasing bow. This shorter trip should suit and improvement is expected on her second start after wind surgery. The remainder debut over the larger obstacles including Timeless Beauty, who has undergone a wind operation and switched yards since last in action, while Doyannie placed over timber at Taunton back in March and is preferred to Poniente and Kestrel Valley.
