Angel Way 2nd at Newmarket

It was a case of deja vu  with our second runner on the day at Newmarket on Saturday! It was another case of taking the initiative and trying to make all in the race only to be gunned down  by a horse which was very well handicapped. However, it was another fine effort in defeat by one of the yard's horses and a 2nd placed effort is no mean feat. Rather like Kakatosi who was second earlier in the card she has been effectively penalised for her consistentcy. As such she is a helpful benchmark for the handicappers when they assess the race but, ironically, it does her no favours as they rarely drop her for one or two below par performances. She has now run 10 times since she last won in August 2013, off a mark of 70, and after Saturday's race she remains on a mark of 74.
