Gay Kelleway was not impressed with the prize-money gained by Bridge Of Fermoy in Lingfield's Go Pontin's For Great Value Holidays Claiming Stakes.

However, the Newmarket trainer could have no complaints about the weather with the sun shining on a glorious afternoon in Surrey.

Her Danetime colt, the 15-8 favourite, also seems to have continued his form into the spring and collected his fourth victory in the grade this year, finishing strongly under George Baker to score by a length and a quarter.

"He's only won a couple of grand, but the owner backed him and we're not really here for the money," said Kelleway.

"These are his races - he couldn't win a handicap last time - although George thought he wasn't quite as good around here."

Best One (11-10 favourite) sparked a good deal of interest in the auction with an authoritative victory in the lingfieldpark.co.uk Selling Stakes.

Clive Brittain had been campaigning the Saaed Manana-owned chestnut in better races of late and as soon as pilot Seb Sanders nipped up the rails approaching the distance, he flew clear.

Kelleway's Punching was second, beaten a length and a quarter, while Ron Harris snapped up the winner for 11,600 guineas.

It can be hard to separate the wood from the trees as far as Mark Johnston's all-weather runners go, such has been the volume of late.

However, there was not a lot wrong with the way Yamal (9-4) went about his business at the first attempt in the Captain Croc Says It's Pontin's Time Maiden Stakes.

The three market principals, also including Interactive and 7-4 favourite Spin Again, drew well clear in the home straight but it was Yamal who finished best and won handily despite the official margin of a neck.

Jockey Joe Fanning reported: "He missed the kick slightly and is still green, but that was first-time-out and there's plenty of improvement in him."
