Formscan By John O'Riordan - A final flight faller at Leopardstown last time, FLY AWAY HOME can gain some measure of compensation. Having made stylish ground from rear to go third at the penultimate hurdle, the Charles Byrnes-trained six-year-old wasn't done with when exiting at the last. In what looks quite a tight knit affair for the grade, she could just have that bit more scope for improvement than the majority of her rivals. Haveanothertry, who is best in on official ratings alongside the selection, has to be a serious threat. Runner-up at Leopardstown last time, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding had also shaped with promise when fourth at Thurles on his previous start. Former point-to-point second Sticktothescript is another with leading claims here.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting that at entry have run at least three times over hurdles and have a rating of 110 or less
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
