The veteran Llamadas was shock winner at Lingfield last month. Incredibly that was only his third start since returning from over five years off the track but he has to prove that was no fluke and ENTITLEMENT gets the nod. She didn't fare too badly when third on her first start over 2m last time and the half-sister to top-class stayer Invermark can open her account for James Fanshawe in this. Now What went close on her latest outing on the Flat but C&D winner Ministry makes more appeal back up in trip after a decent effort over 1m4f at Lingfield last month.
