Presto Vento beat Entrap by half-a-length at Lingfield last month but the William Haggas-trained filly is taken to reverse running and score at the main expense of Golden Nun from the in-form Tim Easterby stable. The last mentioned has run well in defeat in her last three starts since being dropped back to today's trip from seven furlongs and, with her stable firing on all cylinders now, there may be more to come. However, Entrap sets the standard and it will be a surprise if she cannot come up with the goods. Progressive last term, the daughter of Phone Trick lost no caste in defeat on her return to action at Lingfield and, with her stable in better form now and improvement to come for her reappearance, the four-year-old should be able to reverse running with Presto Vento, who she meets on 8lbs better terms. Of the others, Proud Boast is likely to struggle under her penalty and a bigger threat may come from Jeremy Noseda's lightly raced Valiantly, who has only run twice before and is less exposed than most.
