Racing Post verdict
Third-partyConcorde Landed is much the form horse of these on our figures, a recent winner rated 110 — nine pounds clear of the next best in the field. That gap is built on a short sample though, so it reads more promising than proven. Shimmering Sun (101) and Big Negotiator (100) both bring deeper and more consistent form into this, while Belle Of The Ball (97) also has a win in her recent form. Concorde Landed remains our selection on the figures, but it's marked a low-confidence pick given how little evidence sits behind that top rating.
