Take Pride

Adam Kirby doesn’t often get it wrong on the all-weather but i’m sure he’d love to have another go on Pride Of Angels. Held-up in rear behind a moderate gallop, he let the eventual winner enjoy a soft lead and despite a strong closing run he was never getting there.

Pride Of Angels clocked the fastest closing sectional by 0.39s and if horse and jockey had got a clear run, or sat closer to the pace they would have won. The handicapper has bumped up the 5-year-old by a couple of pounds but she is still eligible for class 6 handicaps and her lightly raced profile makes her a good bet.
