FormscanBy Alan Magee - FLIGHT RISK looks as good as ever this season, and is taken to complete a hat-trick after two wins at Leopardstown this month. The eight-year-old gelding made a bright reappearance at this venue when unlucky in running behind Jassaar in a valuable handicap before recording a Listed and Group 3 successes at the south Dublin venue. A previous winner of the Gladness Stakes at this venue all of four years ago, Jim Bolger’s charge seems equally effective at seven furlongs and a mile. Pincheck represents the in-form Jessica Harrington, and rates a serious threat having recorded all four wins over a mile on a variety of surfaces. He also carries a 5lb penalty having won the Group 3 Desmond Stakes in fine style at Leopardstown last summer. Old Glory cost 1.6 million as a yearling at the Goffs Orby Sale and the Naas maiden winner has been placed a few times in Stakes company.
