Kazal camp wary of Grace rivals

EOIN Griffin realises the stiff task facing Kazal in the Bar One Racing Hatton’s Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse on Sunday.

The seven-year-old, who was fourth to Catch Me at Navan on his reappearance earlier this month, is among eight horses standing their ground at the latest acceptance stage.

Likely rivals not only include Catch Me, but Champion Hurdle winners Hardy Eustace and Brave Inca.
