Verdict

Those to have raced previously have not really caught the imagination yet so it my be worth chancing Entertaining, who makes slightly more appeal over fellow newcomers Final Overture and E Bride and Entertain. That said, Barry Hills always has to be respected with his runners at this course and the aptly named Ponete is another to pay close attention to when the betting opens. However, Entertaining - a half-sister to the enigmatic sprinter Steel Blue - hails from a yard that have a cracking record with sprinters these days and are noted for shrewd placement of their charges. Henry Candy's charge has also got the benefit of a good draw towards the far rail to aid her cause and, as one of only a handful sure to be suited by the trip, she has as good a chance as any to get off the mark at the first time of asking. The betting will give some clues towards the rest - with Fearby Cross' half-sister Final Overture the first to consider if there are negatives surrounding Entertaining today.
