Verdict

A poor turnout for the money, but that is only to be expected with several options open for these types at York this week. Mugharreb may have been flattered to have beaten Pepperoni at Yarmouth as the latter refused to put too much effort into the finish, so this looks an easy opening for Three Points, who has several decent efforts to his name at the highest level, none more so than when only beaten three lengths in the Group 1 July Cup. This represents his easiest task for some time and he should make no mistake. Affaire Royale looked none too keen last time, but she may still be good enough for third spot.
