MAY HAY found only the progressive Jolie Blonde too good when carrying top weight at Catterick. She can go one better in this and confirm running with Yorkshireman in the process. Lacey remains as frustrating as ever, despite slipping further down the weights, and finished behind runner-up Black Iceman over track and trip last time. The latter can figure again and Rock Of Leon also has place claims back over 2m.
