GLORIOUS LADY appeared to show huge improvement fitted with cheekpieces at Warwick a week ago and is effectively 7lb lower here with Tabitha Worsley also taking off 3lb again. She should win again with a similar effort as Lilith had a hard race at Plumpton on Monday and has been racing over much longer trips. Fortunes Melody is 2lb lower than when runner-up at Taunton in January so looks the danger.
