Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Concert
Concert holds an advantage in our ratings and shaped with considerable promise last time, finishing a close third off a mark 1lb above today's; a noted jockey booking adds to her credentials. King's Road Dandy, stepping up into handicap company for the first time, looks the main danger on potential, while Saucy Jane, back on faster ground, and Liverpool Star are both respected. Concert is our selection.
