GRAGEELAGH GIRL is ready to set the record straight in the Cartmel Racecourse Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle (1.55).
The mare provided Fern O'Brien with her first win over fences 23 days ago, only to lose the race in the stewards' room. Unluckily for the teenage rider and her mount, the weight cloth slipped off on the run-in and the pair were disqualified.
Nevertheless the 11-year-old enjoyed the twists and turns of the Cumbrian track, benefiting from a patient approach to initially take the spoils.
In the past, the Gloucestershire-trained veteran was placed off a mark of 117 and she is now down to 102. But her enthusiasm has been rekindled by a spell pointing, so there is a strong chance the long distance traveller can concede weight all round.
Racingtv.com/freetrial Novices' Chase (3.05) runner WESTERN RUN is one of several big chances for Brian Hughes on the card. Yet to shed his maiden tag over the bigger obstacles, the Irish raider has been up against better quality horses on home turf.
Tackling his longest distance to date, the seven-year-old's prominent racing style will suit this track and he has the chance to get into a good rhythm early.
