Verdict
A tight contest on paper but Entrap impressed when handing out a three-length defeat of Bright Edge on her Kempton return and is fancied to confirm the form despte a 5lb turnaround in the weights. The William Haggas-trained filly has since been narrowly defeated in similar company at Leicester but met a useful rival and the pair were well clear of the remainder. Simianna makes a quick reappearance having been badly hampered when fourth of 28 behind Zargus in a 5f handicap at Royal Ascot and this useful performer rates the main danger if reproducing the same level of form.
