Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Adaay of Scarlett
Adaay of Scarlett heads this competitive six-furlong Class 1 at Goodwood narrowly ahead of Hickory Lad and Cut A Dash, who both sit a pound behind on our ratings, with Where Love Lives also not far away in fourth consideration. The closeness of the ratings means any of those three dangers could reverse the form on the day, and this is far from a straightforward verdict. On balance, though, Adaay of Scarlett holds the edge and is **our selection**.
