YOUNG gun trainer George Boughey is set to supplement his Mystery Angel for a shot at the Cazoo Oaks.
Boughey has made a flying start to the year, with 39 winners already to his name in just his third season training.
And the 29-year-old hopes to keep up momentum with a first Classic runner at Epsom next Friday at a cost of £30,000.
He said: “The decision is not one-hundred percent just yet, but it’s looking likely and I just need to sign it off fully with the owner.
“If there had been a 4-6 hot favourite things would have been different, but she looks worth her place and is a lively outsider I reckon.
“If we can run into the top three or four there is some nice prize money on offer and we’d love a bit of that.”
Newmarket-based Boughey has quickly built up a reputation as a trainer to watch but is still pinching himself at discussing a first Classic runner.
He laughed: “It’s all a bit surreal to be honest, I couldn’t have dreamt this would be the case.
“Things are going really well obviously and this horse has been a star for us.
“Her breeding makes you think she’d be a sprinter, but she looks like a ten furlong horse and runs like one, so hopefully the extra two furlongs are fine.
“You need speed at Epsom and she has plenty of that.
“She was only a cheap buy and has already given the owners lots of big days. Here’s hoping for another one to remember.”
