Piece Of History hasn’t had much racing over the last couple of years and is best watched on her reappearance. Pretty In Grey won three times last year and ran well in a handicap here later but ARAFI boasts more recent form at the track having finished second in July before later winning a match at Windsor. Richard Hannon’s filly gets the nod ahead of trio of three-year-olds and Ajyaall, though the latter hasn’t been disgraced recently in handicaps at York and Newbury and rates a threat.
