Entihaa was a non-runner on Sunday.
17.55 Yarmouth: Barwick @ 8/1 Bet365 - 2pts win
Plenty to like about Barwick tomorrow. Most importantly, his most recent performance, in fact his seasonal reappearance, caught my eye. He travelled nicely till 2f out, then tried to make headway and in all fairness had every chance on the inside, when eventually he looked to pass the horse in front of him over 1f out, to challenge for victory, but that move ended abruptly when the horse in front shifted towards the rail and the gap disappeared. The handicapper dropped him a pound for this performance, which means he is now 3lb below his last winning mark. In addition to that it is interesting to see him at Yarmouth tomorrow, a track he likes, with two course wins to his name. The fast ground will very much suit either. Only concern is the trip: 10f. Does he stay that far? He never won over this trip, however he's another year older and might just get it fine these days, as he tried it only as a 3 year old, and now six years of age, it is worth another try. The flat track and quick ground will certainly help to get the trip anyway. There is too much on the plus side that clearly outweighs the concern about the distance, as his price is too big in my mind.
