Entihaa has every chance on these terms but has not raced for over a year now and debuts on the Fibresand. LUV U WHATEVER may prove a safer proposition dropping down in class given Michael Attwater’s charge is a prolific course winner. An Fear Ciuin has won over a longer trip here in the past and could figure as he’s weighted to beat Obboorr, Edgar and recent course winner Tatting, who beat Brigadoon in a claimer over 1m3f last month.
