Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Piazza
Piazza holds a narrow edge over this Class 6 field at Yarmouth on good ground over a mile, sitting three pounds clear of the next-best Ecclefechan and four ahead of Symphony Of Joy and Crimson Rambler, who together represent the most credible dangers if Piazza fails to deliver on that advantage. The selection will need to replicate her best form to see off that trio, though on these figures she merits the call. Piazza is the selection.
