Ajaan hits the bullseye at Pontefract

Ajaan has been called plenty of names over the past couple of seasons but showed he still retains plenty of ability with a plucky victory in the Phil Bull Trophy Conditions Stakes at Pontefract today.

Henry Cecil's six-year-old headed to Yorkshire with five victories to his name and a rating pushing 100, but he had looked less than co-operative in recent starts, with his last visit to the winner's enclosure coming in May 2008.
