PLAY SMARTER

GRAGEELAGH GIRL hasn’t won under Rules since 2018 but she’s better than this grade and has scored twice between the flags since a creditable hurdling effort at Bangor 9 months ago, so she’s an obvious choice to land this weak event. My Lady Grey could give her plenty to think about if she takes to chasing, while Miss Antipova should give a good account of herself once more.
