Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Angel Of Promise
Angel Of Promise has been showing a progressive profile that makes her an appealing proposition in this competitive eighteen-runner handicap over a mile at Roscommon on good ground, and while she sits a couple of pounds behind the top-rated James Henry on these figures, her upward trajectory suggests there may be more to come. James Henry and Gordon Bennett represent the most obvious threats given their narrow ratings advantage, and Tamazu, level on the figures with our selection, cannot be dismissed in a field this size. On balance, however, the progressive profile of Angel Of Promise is the clinching argument, and she is our selection.
