Newbury - 12th April

Bronze Angel faced an extremely tough task when he attempted to defend his Cambridgeshire crown after almost a year off the track back in September and alhough I backed him and was relatively confident it wasn't a great surprise to see him get tired in the last couple of furlongs. He had a couple of runs after that - one in a Group race where he was outclassed and one in an all-weather handicap where he got hampered when attempting to make his run. These on the face of it disappointing efforts have resulted in his mark falling to the point where he runs in the Spring Mile tomorrow at Newbury off 96. He was rated 95 when he won that Cambridgeshire.

All in all at 16/1 Im prepared to take a chance that he is the same horse that won that race in September 2012.
