WOODY AND YIMOU RENEW RIVALRY

Woody runs at Yarmouth

DANCINGINTHEWOODS and Yimou lock horns again today at Yarmouth in a tight 0-95 handicap over 6f.

The Solario Racing runner is 3lbs better off for a nose defeat when the son of Kodiac pipped him on the line for second place two runs ago at Newmarket.

Today, again there should not be much between them in a fascinating seven-runner contest.  The ground is drying out all the time which is ideal for both horses and if there’s pace in the race and William Buick makes his move late on “Woody”, the 5/1 shot might just prevail.

Who knows, perhaps Yimou (generally 4/1) under Hollie Doyle can bring up the forecast?
