FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - The intention of connections of GRAINEYHILL was to run at Fairyhouse on Wednesday 17th, under a mandatory penalty for his Clonmel success from the previous Thursday. That plan had to go by the wayside due to the weather - snow no less - and he'll have to compete here off his revised mark of 105. He got a pound for every length of his Clonmmel romp, but he was operating off a modest 91 then. There's likely more to come from the selection on his third start for Gordon Elliott. Of course the big draw to Graineyhill here is the fact that visiting teenage sensation James Bowen takes the reins. His feats for one so young are amazing, and hopefully he'll get to display his talents to the Irish audience here.
