All racecards for Wednesday 2nd September
We said2nd of 8, beaten 2¾ at 7/1
DANDY'S ANGEL 14/1
DANDY'S ANGEL at 14/1, John Wainwright and Connor Beasley, is the one — exactly the sort of race we are looking for. He races off a mark 15lb below the 62 it won from back in July 2025, knows how to win round here and is back quickly, ran 5 days ago.
The one worry is run style against this track.
ANNANDALE rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — 4 runs on soft or heavy, never won, never placed — and today is heavy.
The dangers are UNCLE LIAM at 5/1 (a course winner) and SOPHIESTICATE at 7/2 (well handicapped).
