Race preview

GREY ATLANTIC WAY certainly wasn't disgraced when five lengths behind the progressive Feeling The Love (who has won twice since) at Killarney and, competing off the same mark with first-time cheekpieces equipped, he looks sure to mount a bold bid. Like A Diamond beat the same rival at Roscommon 10 days earlier but a subsequent 8lb rise makes life difficult for him, while recent Ballinrobe third, and course chase winner, Neddyvaughan makes up the shortlist.
