Road Home going in the right direction

ROAD HOME can continue Jessica Harrington’s terrific run by landing the Auld Stand and Kellys’ Pub Ashbourne Maiden Hurdle at Fairyhouse this afternoon.

He showed much improved form on this track last month, when a desperately unlucky loser. Nibbled at in the market, Road Home looked sure to score until jumping markedly left at the final flight and was eventually run out of it and beaten three lengths by Od Si.

Hopefully, there will no repeat of such antics and the form received a timely boost whern Old Si stepped up in class to take a novice hurdle at Navan last weekend.
