Anak takes Plumpton prize

Anak made a successful transition from Flat racing to jumping as he put in a laboured performance to land the KBR Lashkar GAH Juvenile Maiden Hurdle at Plumpton today.

A gusty wind and testing underfoot conditions made it hard work for the five runners, but the Tony McCoy-ridden 4-11 favourite, trained by Jim Best, asserted heading to the final flight to capitalise by 11 lengths.
