Paul sends one runner to Cheltenham on Thursday
Fast going will be best for Grivetana

Fast going is what Grivetana wants

Grivetana - 13:30, Cheltenham

She ran very well first time this season where she was second to Herbiers in a decent handicap at Newbury in November.

But she hasn't progressed since then with soft ground against her over the winter and she had to run last time at Chepstow to qualify for this mares' final even though conditions were against her.

The most important thing for Grivetana is the ground as she steps up to two and a half miles. She needs good fast going to produce her best so I hope it stays dry.
