FormscanBy Mark Nunan - AIR OF ENTITLEMENT won the mares’ novice hurdle at the Cheltenham festival in March before being beaten a long way in a Grade 1 at this venue the following month. The ground was very testing on that occasion and she had probably been trained to the minute for Cheltenham, so she is readily forgiven that disappointing run. Her record when fresh is good and she is a winner over 2m4f, so is taken to resume winning ways. Kainsbourg has improved on good ground recently but has had wind issues in the past and softer ground won’t help his cause. Bacchanalian was progressive over 2m in the spring and gives the impression that he will stay this longer trip. %0A%0A
