Verdict

Point Zero came up short over 6f here on Tuesday when failing to land the odds though is weighted to beat Global Melody with the latter dropping down in distance from a mile. Atyaaf never threatened over track and trip on last month's debut and Milchik is having her first start since finishing last at Goodwood back in May. FAVORI ROYAL is a 240,000 euro purchase and already gelded. But Archie Watson has a decent strike rate at the track and his charge may well be good enough to make a winning start in a pretty ordinary novices' race.
