Fly set to wing home

HURRICANE FLY, the medium of positive reports of late, can take the Grade 1 Rabobank Champion Hurdle at Punchestown this evening.

The six-year-old, on the easy-list for a while with a suspensory ligament problem, hasn’t been seen since finishing a disappointing third behind Solwhit in the Morgiana Hurdle here back in November.

But he has a history of going well fresh and bolted in at this meeting last year, having been off since Christmas.
