Verdict

ENTITY is far from being one of Sir Michael Stoute's leading lights but the master trainer will be keen to get a win out of his Shamardal filly for the Cheveley Park Stud and this low-key maiden handicap provides a solid opportunity. Shades of ability have been revealed on three of four starts but a repeat of the Lingfield second on her penultimate outing would just about see her home. Another lightly-raced Newmarket raider, Ed Dunlop's Vereri Senes, looks the main danger with Silvestre De Sousa, who rides this track particularly well, a good booking for the filly who sports first-time headgear. No Backchat makes his handicap bow and should be more at home in this company.
