Harry can give ’em hurry up
Royal Ascot in June. However, Adam Kirby got his revenge when Harry Angel blitzed to victory in the July Cup at Newmarket eight weeks ago.
Harry Angel’s progress in high summer has been on fast ground, but he handled cut when landing the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury last September, and his sire is well known for offspring who go well in the mud.
Brando finished like a train to take third in the July Cup and the fiveyear-old, who has won Deauville’s Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest since, is a live danger, while those looking for an each-way punt should throw a couple of quid at Growl.
The Richard Faheytrained five-year-old doesn’t win any medals for consistency, but made the podium when second to The Tin Man in Champions Sprint at Ascot last October and will cope with the prevailing rain-softened terrain.
