Brilliant King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Harbinger is poised to drop back in trip for a crack at the Juddmonte International at York next month.

The Sir Michael Stoute-trained colt is officially rated the best in the world after his 11-length demolition of Cape Blanco at Ascot last weekend.

While the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in October remains the big objective for the Highclere Thoroughbred Racing-owned four-year-old, connections feel a run in the interim will be to his benefit.

Highclere manager Harry Herbert told www.highclereracing.co.uk: “The horse looks really well and Sir Michael reports that he has now put back all of the weight he lost during the race.

“He feels it is too long a gap between now and the Arc for Harbinger not to have another race and with this in mind, we are seriously considering running him in the Juddmonte International on August 17.”
