Racing: Weight ties down Wizard

The Sir Mark Prescott-trained Wizard King (third) and James Fanshawe's Craigievar (fourth) had to settle for supporting roles in the Group Three Prix du Palais-Royal over seven furlongs at Longchamp yesterday.

Victory went to the even-money Nombre Premier from the Alain de Royer- Dupre yard, by a length and a half. "Wizard King was anchored by his Group penalty, Prescott said."
