Backed into 2-1 favouritism despite being the only member of the seven-strong cast not to have won, Harry Angel who caught the eye when second over five furlongs at Ascot on his sole start May 7 proved up to the hype to secure this prestigious prize which was weakened by the withdrawal of Mokarris (More Than Ready) due to rain-softened ground. Keen early under restraint in fourth, the bay moved forward to lead with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and quickly settled the result. At the line, he had 2 1/2 lengths to spare over Perfect Angel (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}), with a neck back to Global Applause (GB) (Mayson {GB}) in third.
