THE YARD runs two today at Wolverhampton, Lucymai (3.10pm) and Nezar (4.20pm) and the latter has course form to go close under Sophie Ralston.
The 9yo chestnut son of Mastercraftsman has won three times at the course over 6f – 1 mile and today he is one of 11 runners over 6f. Close to a winning mark, he has each-way claims with Sophie Ralston claiming five.
By contrast, Lucymai does not have great course form and is yet to win on a Tapeta surface. She is one of six in the Conditions race over 7f and has a bit to find with her last time out conqueror, Rock On Baileys. A 4/1 shot, Joey Haynes takes the ride.
