Coul Angel stepped out of handicaps with aplomb when leaving his rivals toiling in the Virgin Bet Every Saturday Money Back Wentworth Stakes at Doncaster.Mick Appleby’s four-year-old had been in a rich vein of form in the second half of the season, going close in two big handicaps at York before winning at the Curragh and the gaining further rewards on the Knavesmire last time out.This may have been his first run outside of handicaps, yet he took the step up in grade in his stride, with jockey Jo Mason riding him confidently.She brought him with a sustained run near the stands rail and he hit the front a furlong out, bursting clear to win by two and three-quarter lengths from George Scott’s Poatan as the 11-4 favourite.Coul Angel sports the same colours as Big Evs and Big Mojo and his owners Paul and Rachael Teasdale appear to have another classy sprinter on their hands.Mason told Sky Sports Racing; “That was a bit special, I’ve come up against him a few time when I’ve ridden Sondad but he did that so effortlessly.“I got a nice tow in to it, asked him to quicken and he’s gone. I couldn’t compare him to Sondad, I love them both!“He’s been so progressive, he impressed at the Curragh when he beat me (on Sondad) and then he’s come here and won a Listed race, they’ve done a great job with him.“With a nice horse like that they do it effortlessly, it’s not hard work and they do it easily.“My Grandad (Mick Easterby) will be watching he he always says I’m better over a trip but I’ve just won a Listed sprint there so right back at you Grandad!”Appleby said: “He’s just progressed all season. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of options next year for him, obviously it will be Group races for him now.”
