27th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to form with small-field win in first-time visor at Carlisle (2m5f, soft) last month; remains on a workable mark and will be fine over today's longer trip but was struggling to keep up with Juniper before falling quite heavily at three out at Taunton (2m5f, soft) on latest outing. |

11st 12lb |
Made it 2-2 at Carlisle (2m5f; both on soft) when winning the same race for the second time this month (first-time visor replaced blinkers, as today); acts on sharp right-handed tracks as well and, despite going back up 4lb, her first Carlisle win came off this mark; looks good for a big run. |

11st 3lb |
Hasn't threatened this season but he faced a tough Listed assignment last time and is now 4lb lower than when winning this last year (soft); not ruled out with a first-time visor replacing blinkers. |

18th Jan 2025 Heavy 3m 0f 58y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Ran well on first four starts last season, latterly over an extended 2m7f, and she was back to that peak form when winning in clearcut style at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) six weeks ago under claimer Chad Bament; respected even though she's up 5lb and may well need a career best. |

Has returned from a summer break in good form, gaining second win on the Flat this year when scoring over 1m6f here last week; 4lb penalty; sound chance in a modest event back at 1m4f. |

Versatile mare who has yet to win on the AW but has won over hurdles/fences/a bumper and on turf Flat; sound run when runner-up to an easy winner over C&D last time (first three well clear); interesting contender. |

Verdict
Anthony Honeyball has a strong hand with LILITH and Good Look Charm and preference for the former is only slight, having returned to her best when winning at Carlisle in February and perhaps with even more to come. Good Look Charm also has plenty to recommend her but there is still a slight concern about Blue Hawaii’s jumping.[Emily Weber]
