Angus set to strike again
Mick Quinn’s seven-year-old was rated as high as 100 in her pomp but a long winless spell had seen her drop down to just 78 ahead of her weekend assignment.
A couple of decent efforts behind the likes of Hawkeyethenoo and Elnawin earlier in the campaign suggested she still retained a level of ability, so it should not have come as a huge surprise when she finally got her head in front at Headquarters.
As well as her drop in the weights, it could have been the slightly easier conditions that aided her return to form.
Her course record is pretty impressive with two wins and three thirds from five starts and with conditions again likely to be testing, another bold show is anticipated.
Midnight Caller looks a good thing in the EBF ladbrokes.com Filbert Maiden Fillies’ Stakes.
The Dansili filly was a narrow second on her debut at Doncaster and would possibly have won had she not hung right in the closing stages.
It would be a big surprise if she does not make amends at the second time of asking.
Luca Cumani and Kieren Fallon have proved a formidable combination in recent weeks and they look set to find the target again as Toymaker lines up in the 40 Live Football Markets At totesport.com Maiden Stakes at Folkestone.
The three-year-old was not particularly well fancied for his racecourse introduction at Doncaster a month ago and although he was ultimately well held, he caught the eye making late progress.
He passed the post in fifth in what was probably a better race than this and normal improvement should see him play a part in the finish.
