Verdict
Five runners in a riddle of a race. Grageelagh Girl hadn't won under Rules since 2018 before being sent pointing, where she was 2-4. Now back with Fergal O'Brien, she starts out back over fences in a weak affair but still has enough on her plate over this trip off 11-12. Former pointer Kind Witness stays okay and has a chance on her penultimate effort but Achy Breaky Heart is out of the handicap and hard to fancy. My Lady Grey has yet to jump a fence in public so is hard to get a handle on and therefore the consistent if limited MISS ANTIPOVA is taken to land a first career success. She should stay this far and make the most of weight received from the top two.
