WYE Valley trainer Tom Lacey followed up Cruz Control's second-straight win in the Grand National meeting’s £100,000 William Hill Handicap Chase with another big triumph north of the border on Saturday.

The Lord Maid, again under Herefordshire jockey Stan Sheppard, hit the front two from home in the £43,000 UK Greentech Glasgow Seafield Trophy Mares' Handicap Hurdle at the Scottish National meeting in Ayr.

And the seven-year-old 10/1 shot came home 2L clear of 6/1 chance Lavida Adiva to take the £23,171 first prize in another stylish win for the Woolhope yard.

There was also a place in the winner’s enclosure for 2021 Welsh National-winning trainer Sam Thomas, as his 33/1 outsider Our Power came home third in the £200,000 Scottish National showcase.

The Gold Cup-winning jockey-turned-trainer, who got his professional start as a rider at Venetia Williams’ Kings Caple yard, watched the 10-year-old under Dylan Johnston go second behind Willy Mullins' 14/1 shot Klark Kent two from home.

And although Mullins' 9/1 shot Captain Cody under Harry Cobden passed Our Power at the last before surging to victory in the 3mile 7 furlong steeplechase, Thomas' 2023 Kempton Coral Trophy winner held off Grozni by 2 1/4L to take third and a £21,220 pay day.

While Mullins followed up Nick Rockett's Grand National victory the week before with a 1-2, Thomas can take satisfaction from another premier steeplechase placing following second and third in December's Welsh National at Chepstow with Jubilee Express and 2021 winner Iwilldoit.

It was also a second third in a week for the trainer and jockey, after Celtic Dino placed in the £50,000 Hallgarten And Novum Wines Handicap Hurdle at the Aintree National meeting.

Sellack trainer Ryan Potter was also celebrating a 5L victory for Pittsburg at Hereford in the £6,000 Blackmore Build Handicap Chase under Freddie Mitchell.

And Hentland trainer Tom Symonds saw Greenways place second in the £6,000 Novices' Handicap Hurdle at Huntingdon.
