Angel Gabrial geared up to win Slug And Lettuce London Eye Handicap
The Ian Williams trained bay gelding, Angel Gabrial, is looking to add second straight success to his career chart by winning the Slug And Lettuce London Eye Handicap at Sandown racecourse on Thursday, August 9. The Class 3 contest over 1 mile, 2 furlongs
and 7 yards is scheduled to start at 7:15 (GMT).
Pursuing the prize cheque worth £6,663, the three-year-old young and enthusiastic horse will run against 10 worthy competitors on the good to firm track.
Angel Gabrial has been on the podium for most of the time in his career. During January 2012, he nicely grabbed two consecutive third positions at Wolverhampton. The son of Hurricane Run out of Causeway Song moved on to finish as the runner-up in the Enjoy
The Punters Package Group Offer Handicap, held at the same venue---he was 9-4 favourite for that race.
The K. And Mrs Cullen bred gelding grabbed another runner-up position in the Edmundson Electrical Handicap that took place at Chester racecourse on June 29.
Finally, the skilled gelding managed to break his maiden by winning the Odgers Berndtson Handicap at Sandown on July 26. The race conditions of that contest were the same he will face today.
This impressive track record is an evidence of Angel Gabrial’s inherent racing skills. It is predicted that the enthusiastic gelding will be able to thrive convincingly. However, he will have to be wary of Royal Empire who has marvellously won his only start.
The legendary trainer Saeed Bin Suroor’s bay colt gained the favourite tag for his very first outing. He beautifully came up to the expectations of the punters by winning the Lingfield Park Ladies Evening 21st July Maiden Stakes (Div I) on July 18, 2012.
This was indeed a magnificent victory that spiked up the winner’s confidence level to a great extent.
Thus, the Godolphin owned novice runner can prove to be a big threat for Angel Gabrial who needs to employ an audacious strategy to thwart the influence of his mighty rival.
By and large, a rip-roaring clash will be witnessed at Sandown. Good luck to both the contestants.
