Lord Maizey can rule

NIGEL TWISTON-DAVIES has an enviable record in the big handicap chases and he has another nice prospect who could develop into a leading contender for the major prizes in Lord Maizey.

Lord Maizey won three point-to-points and a bumper in his native Ireland but did not look anything out of the ordinary on his British debut at Chepstow last month when trailing home a well-beaten fourth behind Ask Henry.

Twiston-Davies said the gelding had not acclimatised in time for that outing and the run is best forgotten.
