FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CONCERTISTA is a novice who gives away 3lbs to her main rivals but is high class and has an excellent record at Cheltenham. She has taken very well to fences, is suited by today's trip and is ground-versatile. Interestingly, CONCERTISTA beat Mount Ida 34 lengths here in 2020. Elimay was a close second in last year's renewal and with proven ability at this level, she can be relied upon to run another good race. She is closely matched with Mount Ida on two previous meetings and there might not be much between the pair. Mount Ida won the 2021 Kim Muir, when outpaced early in the race, and while effective at this distance, might ideally prefer a fraction further. Zambella fell in last year's renewal and might bump into a few too good.
