The Punt Acca: Harry Wilson with three tips from York on Thursday

Three horses to include in a treble on Thursday

See The Fire (3.13 York)

See The Fire ran as if needing her reappearance in the Gordon Richards Stakes last month, briefly leading over a furlong out but fading in the closing stages. She should take a step forward for that effort, just as she did last year, and she had some very good form last season, notably finishing a neck second to Opera Singer in the Group 1 Nassau Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. She landed the Group 3 Strensall Stakes at this course last year and looks the one to beat.

Star Of Mehmas (4.18 York)

Star Of Mehmas shaped well in a 6f Listed race on her reappearance two weeks ago, only wilting late on having suffered a wide trip. She produced a career-best Racing Post Rating that day but could have even more to offer now dropping back to the minimum trip. She took her 5f record to 3-3 when lowering the juvenile course record at Ayr in a Listed race in September and her style of racing should be well suited to this course. She's well drawn and the booking of Ryan Moore is a positive.

Rahiebb (5.25 York)

Rahiebb was an eyecatching winner on his debut over a mile, producing a good turn of foot to win going away once the penny dropped, and he has run well under a penalty the last twice. His last effort at Haydock looks particularly good, given he only went down by a neck when trying to concede 6lb to potential Derby contender Opportunity, and he was set for the Lingfield Derby Trial before being taken out on account of the ground. That is a slight worry, but the surface here shouldn't be nearly as quick as it was that day. He stays well and an opening mark of 90 doesn't look beyond him.
