IT is a pity that Harry Angel is not entered in the Nunthorpe Stakes, because he looked all speed in the Commonwealth Cup when he split Caravaggio and Blue Point in what will surely go down as one of the races of the year, if not the race of the year.

You would have thought that a drop down to five furlongs now would be a worthwhile project for the Clive Cox-trained colt, even though he was beaten on his only attempt at the trip, and you would have loved to have seen him take on Lady Aurelia. He is entered in the July Cup, however, over an easy six furlongs on the Newmarket July Course, so maybe that’s the way that he will go.
