Race preview

GREEN SKY showed improvement from first to second start for new connections when an encouraging third at Navan in November, and that form sets the standard. My Kiwi Girl can give her the most to think about following a career-best effort when second over 2m at Ayr last month. Leading trainer Willie Mullins is not known for sending many to this track, so Armed And Fabulous should be monitored for market support.
