Alwaysanangel looked a smart prospect when making a winning debut for Joseph O’Brien in the opening median sires series race at Fairyhouse today.

Dylan Browne McMonagle asked his mount to quicken in the straight and the 15/2 shot answered in good style up to lead over a furlong from home.

The daughter of Harry Angel soon settled matters as she went on to post a cosy three-length success over Crayons In The Sky

Alwaysanangel had been a 75,000gns buy at the breeze-ups sales and the winning rider said afterwards:-

“She’s a good filly, I think. She’s showing plenty at home.

“I just wanted to get her relaxed early, being a breezer, get her doing things right and hit the line.

“Once I pulled her out, off the cover, she quickened up really well. She put it to bed in a couple of strides.

“She’s got a bit of class.”
