Verdict
SIXANDAHALF was collared close home by Air of Entitlement in the Dawn Run at the Cheltenham Festival but she powered through that race in the style of a mare of rare quality and, open to further improvement now moving back up in trip, she is taken to exact her revenge. It goes without saying that Air of Entitlement is respected but a bigger threat may be posed by stablemate The Big Westerner, who also ran a big race at the Cheltenham Festival where she finished second in the Albert Bartlett.
