Lily Does The Business


Lily's Angel had few problems maintaining her unbeaten record in the Manor House Stables Lily Agnes Conditions Stakes at Chester.

Richard Fahey's 7-4 favourite had already bagged events at Beverley and Newcastle and quickened a length and three-quarters clear of Marford Missile once Paul Hanagan had freed himself from a small pocket turning around the tight final bend.

"She's a very laid-back filly and I wasn't quite sure this would be her ideal track, but she did it so well. She won't get a penalty so I'd like to go for the Hilary Needler at Beverley now," said Fahey.

Fahey reported his recent Ascot winner Miss Work Of Art had beaten Lily's Angel in a gallop a few days earlier and added: "At the moment she (Miss Work Of Art) looks pretty special but hopefully they might both end up at Royal Ascot."
