Concert Hall hits right note in Group 3 company
Concert Hall arrives on the scene on the outer

Concert Hall bounced back to winning ways when she wore down her rivals in the Group 3 Weld Park Stakes over seven furlongs in the Curragh.
She raced behind the leaders and was switched out by Seamie Heffernan with less than three furlongs to go.
She was off the bridle passing the two pole in seventh and was soon ridden to find more.
The Dubawi filly made headway into fourth, on the outer, racing into the final furlong and continued her progression to collar Sunset Shiraz in the final 50 yards.
The 9/2 chance went on by a length from Sunset Shiraz (10/3). Seisai was a neck away in third at 7/1.
This was a reversal of the Group One Moyglare Stakes over course and distance a fortnight ago when Sunset Shiraz was third to Concert Hall's fourth.
Aidan O'Brien said: “I’m delighted with her and if she comes out of this okay she’ll probably step up and go on to the Fillies Mile.
“She’s a hardy lady and is going to improve from racing. She stays well and is a good strong build. The mare (Was) won the Oaks.”
Paddy Power cut Concert Hall from 16/1 to 10/1 for the Fillies Mile and from 33/1 to 20/1 for the 1,000 Guineas.
