Anghaam made all the running under Jim Crowley to run out a cosy winner of the mile Unibet Fillies’ Handicap.
Trained by Richard Hannon, the three-year-old filly was allowed to dictate matters throughout and had plenty in reserve to win nicely. The daughter of Frankel, who was sent off a 7/2 chance, was a length and a half too strong for stablemate Zwelela (12/1).
Crowley and Hannon were both registering a 19th Qatar Goodwood Festival win.
Hannon said: “I think Anghaam is a miler, although she does get a mile and a quarter.
“I thought she might like the ground. I had a conversation with Angus Gold [racing manager] this morning and we weren’t sure but she did and Jim [Crowley] made the race his own by going a very steady gallop.
“She quickened up well and did it nicely. She’s a tough, likeable, sweet filly.”
Crowley said: “Anghaam just hung a little bit left, but I got it very easy out in front.
“She didn’t mind this good to soft ground. She probably wasn’t doing an awful lot out in front hence she hung a bit left.
“She is bred to quite nice and at least we have won a few races with her now.”
