Verdict

CONCORDE may have been unsuited by the quicker ground when last seen at Pontefract and there's every chance he can resume progress after a break, so he takes preference over Sayf Al Dawla, who had something to spare when making a winning return at Sandown. Civil Law should also give a good account.
