Ethics Girl hasn't looked like winning lately whilst River Ardeche has weakened over this trip recently and makes little appeal. Conversely there is a lot to like about GREEN LIGHTNING who acts on a variety of ground and back to a mile and a half after just not seeing out two furlongs further at York, should see the optimum run from Mark Johnston's Montjeu colt. Lady Luachmhar would prefer more cut in the ground and the handicapper still has her measure. Brouhaha was good the only time he tried this trip and with conditions that should suit he has strong claims. Snow Dancer isn't sure to enjoy this distance and this is a tougher test for George Adamson who is in good form this year.
