Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Greek Symphony
Greek Symphony heads this six-runner Leicester contest on a rating six pounds clear of Bayside, with the form to justify that advantage at the seven-furlong trip on good-to-firm ground. Bayside and Katie's Cavalier represent the most credible threats, while Jazzy Bay cannot be entirely discounted, but none of the three looks capable of bridging that gap on current evidence. **Greek Symphony** is the selection.
