Fly can show his true form

Punchestown continues its battle with the elements this evening, housing a five-race card headed by the Rabobank Champion Hurdle, if the course passes an 8am inspection.

Hurricane Fly was way below-par in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham and will be very much on retrieving mission in this valuable Grade 1.

He now faces two dangerous opponents in his stable companions Thousand Stars and Zaidpour and cannot afford a drop in standards a second time.
