Montague is penalised for winning over 6f at Wolverhampton and was narrowly beaten over the same distance here by Hard Graft in December. But the latter has subsequently found HELEN SHERBET too good over course and distance and it’s Karl Burke’s filly that makes most appeal. She ran well again here when fading close home over a longer trip and can return to winning ways. Bezos won at Lingfield earlier but debuts on this surface along with Doncaster winner Make Good, though the latter remains unexposed if taking to the Fibresand having been gelded since last in action.
