Angel On Fire^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁵⁾| T: P F McEnery| OR: 52

14/1

Won 14-runner handicap at Gowran (8.3f, heavy, 33/1) 13 days ago. Not an obvious one to follow up that belated breakthrough success, but 4 lb rise looks manageable and he needs considering.

5/1

Creditable third of 19 in handicap (10/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 18 days ago, slowly away. Trainer going well and each-way chance if able to build on that effort.

Forecasts

Kinda Tiny (5/1), Pimstrel (5/1), Lisamaria (5/1), Manhattan Dandy (6/1), Little Keilee (8/1), Arch Enemy (8/1), Conversant (12/1), Angel On Fire (14/1), Brown Eagle (14/1), Purring Along (16/1), Clear Quartz (20/1), Our Dickie (25/1), Nawraq (50/1), Dazzling Spirit (50/1), Talking Tough (66/1), Mr Stanley (100/1)

The vote goes to PIMSTREL, who produced much her best effort of the season so far when a close third at Leopardstown recently and she is 6 lb lower than for her all-the-way success over this C&D last September. Arch Enemy wasn't far behind the selection at Leopardstown, having encountered traffic problems, and she is feared most. Conversant and Kinda Tiny are live each-way contenders.
