Angus set to strike again

ANGUS NEWZ ended a barren spell stretching back almost two years at Newmarket on Saturday and she can strike again in Leicester’s ladbrokes.com Prestwold Conditions Stakes.

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.
