Broom can fly home in opener

THE promising Light On The Broom can fly home in the opening Templemore Maiden Hurdle at Thurles this afternoon.

Ger Stack’s winning pointer has graduated to the racecourse in style and looks well capable of getting through an ordinary contest such as this.

At Wexford last month, on his debut over flights, the selection finished three parts of a length second to Healy’s Pub. A 20-1 shot then, he followed by going off a well-backed market leader to land a bumper at Clonmel earlier this month.
