Teagan Angel set to build on debut promise

A mixed card at Tipperary, with five flat races followed by three hurdles. It looks quite tricky for punters, but Teagan Angel is put forward as the nap in the expectation she can build on the distinct promise of debut when she lines up for the second race.

Trained by Monica Dowdall Blake, the four-year-old filly had her only competitive effort to date at the Curragh less than three weeks ago, and showed real promise in finishing fourth behind Ceol An Ghra.

A 50-1 chance on that occasion, she travelled strongly throughout but for most of the trip was behind a wall of horses. Without being asked too much when it was evident she would not get to her experienced rivals, she stayed on nicely into fourth place.
