I AM sure many people, like me, were scratching their heads after Angel Above ran out a neck winner over seven furlongs at Dundalk.

Owned, trained and bred by Luke Comer, the three-year-old is from the first crop of Second Thought, a multiple stakes-winning son of Kodiac (Danehill) whose grandam is a half-sister to the four-time Group 1 winner Sky Lantern (Red Clubs). Successful at two in the Moyglare Stud Stakes, Sky Lantern was rated the champion filly at three after wins in the 1000 Guineas, Coronation Stakes and Sun Chariot Stakes. She is now dam of the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes winner Snow Lantern (Frankel).
