Un De Sceaux may take on Fly at Punchestown

Hurricane Fly is on target to try for a sixth successive win at the Punchestown Festival and could face stablemate Un De Sceaux in the Racing Post Champion Hurdle, which he has won for the last four seasons, on May 2.

The remarkable 10-year-old, who boasts a record 19 Grade One victories, is likely to face a field including Jezki, who had him back in fourth place when lifting the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham.

“Hurricane Fly will run in the Racing Post Champion Hurdle and he is in good shape,” said Mullins.
