Whispering Angel Handicap

Developed into a useful sprinter last year with 3 victories. Picked up where he left off when third in listed race at Naas in April. Flying too high when 4 lengths fourth in Group 3 at Sandown latest and has plenty on at the weights back in a handicap.

Doubled his tally for current yard with clear-cut success in a competitive similar event at Windsor (6f) last month. Didn't get chance to show what he could do off 8 lb higher mark when very slowly away over C&D subsequently.

Royal Ascot winner back in 2024. Proved he retains ability (following a couple of absences) with success in Scottish Sprint Cup at Musselburgh (5f) in April. Travelled enthusiastically when 1¾ lengths sixth of 16 at York latest. Not discounted if returning from 9 weeks off in similar fettle.

Returned to his best when successful in 6f course handicap in May and bounced back to form when 2½ lengths third over same C&D last time. Clearly likes it here and could go well with first-time cheekpieces added on return to minimum trip (runner-up both previous starts as juvenile).

Listed winner at Baden-Baden for Archie Watson. Best effort for current yard when close third behind now-smart Crown Of India at Leicester (6f) in April. Looked on the way back before possibly finding race coming too soon at Southwell last time. Could capitalise on handy mark in change of headgear.

Proved better than ever dominating a small-field handicap at Ffos Las on his latest start. That useful effort was even more impressive given the way he travelled and the timefigure clocked. Expected to run a big race up in grade.

Revitalised by the refitting of a visor when recording a comfortable, career-best success at Newmarket 8 days ago, winning the race for the third successive year. Should remain competitive off 6 lb higher if headgear has same effect.

Course winner ended a losing run stretching back to the 2023 Acomb when scoring by 1 length at Thirsk last time. The other in-frame horses haven't advertised that form, but he's still feasibly treated for his first crack at 5f.

Sole success came in maiden at Tipperary back in May 2024. Hasn't been long with current yard and looked to be building up to something when close third off this mark at Pontefract 9 days ago.

Enhanced good record fresh when runner-up over C&D on return in May. Second past the post (subsequently disqualified for causing interference) on latest start at Newmarket. Tricky customer is probably vulnerable off 2 lb higher in better race, even if Oisin Murphy gets the best out of him.

Posted some solid winning form in a progressive juvenile season. Shaped better than the beaten distance in a fairly useful event at Newcastle (6f) in January before probably needing the run on return (28/1) at Ffos Las. Low-mileage sprinter could have more to offer if back on song.

Ran with plenty of credit to finish a close third at Windsor last month. Now tried in more severe headgear following lesser effort at Newmarket subsequently, and he's 5 lb lower than when runner-up in this corresponding event last year.

Won maiden/novice events over 6f at Ayr for Archie Watson last summer. Hasn't fired this season, changing hands for only 4,600 gns prior to an underwhelming stable debut at Newmarket.
