3 minute read

Warren Greatrex will choose Aintree over Cheltenham for La Bague Au Roi this spring, after her laudable run on what turned out to be unsuitable ground at Leopardstown.

Greatrex's dual Grade One-winning mare still has entries in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and Ryanair Chase, but is instead bound for Aintree's Betway Bowl following her tough performance to finish fifth in Sunday's Irish Gold Cup.
