Entihaa was second in this race in 2014 when 2lb higher and occasionally hints that all is not lost. On Fire has been in good form on the all-weather lately and so has Brigadoon, though he has plenty of weight back on Turf. Princess Roania was in good form on the Flat and over hurdles last summer but hasn’t raced since August.
