Bostons Angel takes RSA Chase
Jessica Harrington’s Bostons Angel ground out victory in the RSA Chase under a jubilant Robbie Power.
The stable’s Oscars Well was luckless in the Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle as he made a bad mistake at the final flight under Power, but Bostons Angel gained compensation with a determined display.
With 7-4 favourite Time For Rupert running a largely lifeless race before staying on late to finish fifth, and Mikael D’Haguenet falling, the stage was set for a shock.
Bostons Angel was sent off at 16-1, despite a couple of Grade One triumphs, but he jumped with aplomb and was bang there turning for home.
Jessies Dream loomed up as a big danger, but it was Bostons Angel who found most up the hill to score by a neck.
