Just Call Me Angel

Those two wins came at two very different tracks. The first arrived at Epsom Downs in August 2025 — a famously tricky course with a steep downhill section and a sharp bend that catches out plenty of horses who lack either the balance or the nerve to handle it. Winning there as a three-year-old is no small thing. She followed that up with another victory at Kempton Park in September, a flat, galloping track that rewards horses with straightforward, honest ability. Two different venues, two wins — that versatility is exactly what trainers hope to see in a young horse finding her feet.

The recent form reads 3-1-1-5-3, which tells an interesting story. Those two consecutive wins sit right in the middle of the sequence, and on either side she has run respectably rather than badly — finishing third twice and fifth once. The fifth-place finish is the only blip, and even that leaves a record of four finishes in the top three from five races. That is a horse who is almost always in the conversation at the finish.

She is trained by Ed Dunlop at his yard in Newmarket, the heartland of British flat racing, and Dunlop's team have been in fine form this season with 36 winners already to their name. That kind of output from a yard means horses are arriving fit and ready — which matters all the more here, because Just Call Me Angel is returning from a break of around six months, her last race having been that Kempton win back in September. A long absence always raises questions, but a horse with her win rate and a trainer firing on all cylinders gives plenty of reasons for optimism. The next run will tell us a lot about whether she has trained on through the winter.
