'No excuses' for Grai

Paul Nolan admitted there will be “no excuses” when smart novice hurdler Cuan Na Grai returns to the track in the Rathberrry & Glenview Studs Festival Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse on Sunday.

The six-year-old created a huge impression winning the Galway Hurdle last August but subsequently disappointed at Cheltenham in November on ground that was reportedly too soft.
