Montrachet looks progressive and can win again at the main expense of Atlantic Light and Emerald Bay. This filly from the Michael Bell yard is clearly improving with her racing and she showed a good attitude to beat Kasmire Lady at Windsor last time. She goes on any ground and as she has been given a bit of a break since her last win, she should be primed to take her chance again here tonight. Atlantic Light was a little disappointing at Redcar last time but she has had a light campaign so far this year and she should benefit from that most recent outing. Emerald Bay was well beaten last time at Musselburgh but that was a more competitive affair than this and the form has worked out well. Tsaroxy and Hawkit are course and distance winners but look worth taking on, and for the winner we will stick with Montrachet.
