Race preview
Harry's Halo improved from his return at Kempton in June when filling the runner-up spot at both Chester and Doncaster. Kevin Frost's gelding commands plenty of respect, but INTERNATIONAL GIRL edges the vote. She has been running in more competitive races of late and could have finished closer last time at York when hampered at a crucial point. The form of that contest has worked out well, with the winner following up in the Stewards' Cup and the second also winning since, and a 2lb drop from the handicapper aids her cause. Any market support for Kit Gabriel on his first start for Mark Loughnane should be noted.
