Red Halo will be expected to improve on last year's debut at Doncaster and wears her owners first colours ahead of debutant Regal Aura, a half-sister to winning stablemate Robemaker. Varnish ended last season with a close-up second at Newbury and given the third has since won, she'll be a popular choice on her return. However, BERWIN also went close when third at Kempton in September and she gets the nod as there's a good chance she'll improve for today's longer trip. Rosaria and Easter Diva could prove best of the rest.
