Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Musical Times
Musical Times proved herself on debut with a narrow success in a novice at Newmarket and Charlie Appleby's Lope De Vega filly looks capable of handling a 7lb penalty on her second outing. Gracious Gift is the standout rival — a Dubawi filly from the same powerful stable whose pedigree profile is formidable — while Aunty Patsy rounds out the shortlist at 85,000gns. Musical Times is our selection.
