Hasn't taken at all well to hurdling, so no surprise he reverts to racing on the level; a four-time winner, including on three occasions at Musselburgh (1m4f+ to 2m); monitor for signs of market confidence; stablemate of Maulesden May.

14:45 Musselburgh - 2 May 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A trappy looking contest, with the Scottish-based handlers Keith Dalgleish and Iain Jardine both being doubly-represented. Stakes in this race should be kept to a minimum with the pre-race market perhaps offering the most relevant guide in terms of fitness and expectations. Kajaki makes the shortlist with his recent Pontefract fourth well advertised by the winner Archive since. However, we'll chance the filly and handicap debutante TOMORROW'S ANGEL who has shown a degree of ability on both the AW and over hurdles, and rates as an interesting prospect.
  1. Tomorrow's Angel
  2. Kajaki
  3. Maulesden May
