Verdict

A competitive Group 3 to kick-off Ebor Saturday at York, with 2017 winner MUSTASHRY seeking a second straight success after making a most pleasing winning seasonal return at Sandown last month. His trainer Sir Michael Stoute will no doubt have him spot on for this race, and with natural progression anticipated he'll prove a tough nut to crack. However, the level of opposition that he faces this year is probably slightly stronger overall, with the eased in grade Lord Glitters a live threat based upon his level of progress throughout the current campaign, and the dropped in trip (reliable) Zaaki also a noteworthy combatant.
