Amanto has been a fine performer for us in recent seasons and despite entering the veteran stage, he retains plenty of enthusiasm for racing, bouncing back to winning ways with a very game success at Lingfield Park yesterday under Dylan Hogan.

Held up in last, he looked to have a tough task on his hands on the home turn, but a gap opened up on the inside and Dylan was quick to exploit it, bringing Amanto through to lead at the furlong pole and holding on in a very tight finish.

That was his fourth win for us and he is unlikely to go up much for the success, so hopefully he can make a very bold bid to follow up next time!
