Home away from home for Johnston as impressive course form continues

It might be almost 300 miles away from his yard in North Yorkshire but Mark Johnston seems to have found a new home course this year, after Reggae Runner gave him his eighth Lingfield winner from just 15 runners.

Following up Friday's success with Bay Of Naples, the three-year-old was his only representative here and made all to get off the mark by two and a half lengths on his third start to boost Johnston's strike-rate at the track to 53 per cent, with a significant level-stakes profit of +£35.04.

Franny Norton was in the saddle and left in good spirits, with the jockey off on a well-deserved break ahead of the start of the Flat season.
