Eglevski and Love On The Rocks have both shown plenty of ability and should be in the shake up, but there is a good word for the Mark Johnston newcomer Atlantic Coast and this one gets our vote. The stable often use Pontefract to introduce decent juveniles and this son of In The Wings does look the part on paper. He has been showing up well on the gallops and he will not have to betop class to win this event. Eglevski has had plenty of chances but is a solid performer. His recent second however was behind a Johnson runner so they should know how they stand with this one. Love On The Rocks improved on his first outing to finish a decent second behind a Chapple-Hyam hotpot at Haydock, while Yossi has to be consisderd a threat following a very promising debut run. Prince Sabaah and Alpes Maritimes are two others that have displayed ability, but on this occasion we will take a chance with the quietly touted Atlantic Coast.
