International Girl is 9lb higher than when successful here last summer but she made a perfectly satisfactory reappearance at Ripon and beat Al Simmo at Pontefract last September. Dora Penny seeks an 11th career victory having scored at Kempton in April while David Evans also saddles the in-form three-year-old Radio Goo Goo, though she is closely matched with Distinguished Lady on latest Chester running. PINK CRYSTAL was more than holding her own in Listed company at the end of last season and, despite returning from a break, may have the class to defy her big weight back in handicap company.
