ENTITLE (GB) (f, 2, Dansili {GB}–Concentric {GB} {SW & GSP-Fr, $117,776}, by Sadler's Wells), who was a June 23 debut sixth to subsequent G2 Superlative S. third Neverland Rock (GB) (No Nay Never) tackling seven panels at Newmarket last time, recovered from a stuttering start to stalk the pace in second after the initial exchanges of this synthetic bow. Sent to the front off the home turn, the 6-1 chance was headed by Equal Sum (GB) (Paco Boy {Ire}) approaching the final eighth and rallied gamely under mild rousting to deny that rival by a length. “She ran in the summer, but was green and a little on the weak side,” explained winning rider Robert Havlin. “She was green again today and on the wrong leg all the way around. I couldn't get her to switch leads, but the further she was going the better she was going. She needed company to keep her mind on things and it helped her in the straight. I loved her attitude and she knuckled down when it mattered. She was a stronger filly today and will get better.” Entitle becomes the fifth scorer from as many runners produced by stakes-winning G3 Prix de Flore runner-up Concentric (GB) (Sadler's Wells) and is a half-sister to MG1SW dual G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine Enable (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), G2 Prix de Pomone third Contribution (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}), a yearling filly Frankel (GB) and a colt foal by Sea the Stars (Ire).The homebred bay shares her G3 Prix de Royaumont-winning second dam Apogee (GB) (Shirley Heights {GB}) with MGISW US champion Flintshire (GB) (Dansili {GB}). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $4,742. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
