Anglophile secures Good Friday spot with Lingfield repeat

racing

Anglophile repeated his victory of 12 months ago in the 32Red.com Conditions Stakes at Lingfield.

Martin Lane opted to settle Charlie Appleby's charge behind the leaders, as stablemate and favourite Pinzolo was made to work hard to get to the front of affairs.

Those exertions took their toll by the home turn, where Anglophile hit top gear and stretched clear.

The 2-1 chance then had enough left in the tank to repel Ballynanty, who had been stuck for room over a furlong out, by half a length.

Anglophile went on to finish second in the Marathon on All-Weather Finals day last year, and booked his place in that contest on Good Friday with this win.
