ENTREAT can land the finale at the main expense of Handsome Falcon and Burma Rock. The selection is a nice filly and she won well at Folkestone before going close at Sandown last time off an 8lbs higher mark. She looks progressive and she has conditions to suit so she can regain the winning thread. Richard Fahey continues in good form and he has a couple with a chance here, the best of which would appear to be Handsome Falcon. He was a bit disappointing at Ayr last time after a good effort at Nottingham previously, but the suspicion is that the handicapper may now have his measure. His stablemate Trip The Light has been in good form but this drop in trip looks a negative for him. Burma Rock wasn't beaten all that far at Warwick last month and he remains unexposed so it would not be a surprise to see him in the shake-up. However, the vote is given to Entreat.
