In depth
Verdict
ENTERTAINMENT will no doubt prove popular on her reappearance given she found only one too good at Newmarket in October. John Gosden's filly should go close in this if running anywhere near the same level. Harlestone Hopes and Tell Me Another look likely improvers with recent debut efforts under their belts but one of the newcomers could prove a bigger threat. Of those, Strong Steps can include a Listed winner among his four winning relatives and makes more appeal than One Man Army.
