19:00 Windsor – Coul Angel – 1pt @ 6/1

Coul Angel progressed nicely last year, winning a Kempton novice in January before adding four handicap successes onto his slate, including one on turf.

The assessors have had their say, of course, and he’s now a 93-rated performer who needs to come on again if he’s going to trouble the judge in these competitive sprints.

However, he’s only a four-year-old and there’s every chance he’ll kick on again at some stage, with this looking like an ideal contest for him to thrive if he’s ready on the back of a two-month break.

He never had a chance at Newmarket when last seen, pulling hard off a calm early tempo, but the run before was a lot more promising when second to a then 90-rated Double Rush.

Granted, it was a distant second to a thrown-in rival, but he hit the line well and a similar level of performance should be putting him bang in the mix against this field.

It’s a different type of track for him to navigate but, if anything, it could suit better as long as there’s a good pace on, and Fandom and Regal Envoy shouldn’t be hanging around.

If the fitness is in place and the returning Rab Havlin, who has been on board for Coul Angel’s last three wins, gets him to settle, I will be disappointed if he’s not in the mix late on.
