ANGEL OF FASHION, is taken to get the better of Tell Halaf and Refuse to Wait in the finale. Refuse to Wait's only previous success came at this track at this time last year, and though recent efforts do not imbue confidence, the stable is in form and he can reach the frame. A winner at Leicester in May, Tell Halaf has run some sound races in defeat since. He looks sure to be thereabouts again but may be worth taking on. The selection won a nursery at Leicester in September but had to be dropped to selling grade to resume winning ways last time. That win has received a boost with the fourth taking a little handicap next time, and the handicapper continues to ease Angel of Fashion's mark, and she can score again here.
