Just Call Me Angel

The wins themselves tell an interesting story. The first came at Epsom Downs in August 2025, a significant track where breaking a maiden takes real quality. Just Call Me Angel followed up with a second win at Kempton Park in September, suggesting this was no flash in the pan. But that September victory at Kempton now sits a full year in the past, and the horse has not won since despite staying in regular work.

Looking at the last six races, the pattern is one of minor placings without a breakthrough. The most recent outing just a day ago resulted in 19th place — a disappointing run that extended a winless streak stretching back twelve months. The four placings in nine races show the horse is competitive enough to run in the frame regularly, which is something, but it leaves a nagging sense of underachievement. Ed Dunlop, who trains the horse at his Newmarket yard, has had a productive season with 39 winners overall, so the infrastructure is there for improvement.

The key to Just Call Me Angel's future likely lies in getting back to races at its preferred distance of 7 furlongs to a mile, where its record is demonstrably better. At the moment, the pattern suggests it may have settled into a comfortable middle tier — too good to ignore, not quite good enough to recapture winning form. Whether that changes depends on where the next opportunity comes and how the horse responds.
