      Verdict

      Another fillies' maiden in which previous form is thin on the ground. Entity started favourite on the Polytrack in September but was well beaten. She should do better over this longer trip, however, and probably has more scope than Western Bella and Pure Line, who have both looked one-paced so far. Distain's stable won this in 2013 and there is plenty of stamina in her pedigree but Julieta may find this too far on her introduction. FRENCH DRESSING (NAP) is a half-sister to Pretty Polly winner Dalvina, who went on to finish third in the Ribblesdale here. She can make a winning debut before going on to better things with jockey bookings suggesting she's ahead of stable companion Nafla in the pecking order.
