FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A well bred daughter of The Grey Gatsby, AINE can make a winning racecourse debut. Her half-sister never ran in a bumper but was a Grade 3 winner at this distance over hurdles. Hailing from the Willie Mullins yard, the four-year-old is sure to know her job and, looks the one to beat in this finale. Trainer Sam Curling does well with his runners in this discipline and his newcomer Green Me Granny is one to note in the betting. Any market support for the filly should be respected. Gordon Elliott's twice raced Fascinating Rock offspring Cinating looks best of those that have already raced under Rules.
