Two-for-two entering Deauville's seven-furlong G3 Prix Six Perfections on Sunday, the €110,000 Goffs Orby Book 1 graduate Angeal (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}–Curvy {GB}, by Galileo {Ire}) showed that she is not shy of a battle, emerging the other side with her perfect tally intact.

Educated at Saint-Cloud over the past two months, the Christopher Head-trained daughter of Coolmore's GI E. P. Taylor Stakes heroine who races for Christophe Brun, Ecurie Normandy Spirit and Gerard Larrieu was settled in second from the outset by Aurelien Lemaitre.

Getting to the front at the top of the straight in preparation for warding off the closers, the 23-10 favourite fought hard to retain her advantage and prevail by a short neck and a head from Royalty Bay (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) and Relaxx (Fr) (City Light {Fr}). The win completed a rare clean sweep in pattern races on the afternoon for the French-trained horses to get Deauville August off to a flyer for the domestic runners.

“I'm delighted she remains undefeated with a great performance,” Christopher Head said. “She has a lovely temperament and she never gives up when she has to fight. With her lovely pedigree, to win a group race was most important and it is mission accomplished. We'll now take our time to prepare her for the one-mile [G3] Prix d'Aumale and then the [G1] Marcel Boussac.”
