Formscan By Tom Weekes - FLY AWAY HOME makes her seasonal reappearance but will relish today’s soft ground. A useful performer last season, the selection has nice ability and while she lacks race-fitness, has a light weight and represents an in-form yard. Minella Hollow finished third in a smart Grade 3 contest recently and while he drops in grade, would prefer good ground. Recent course winner Direct Approach was closely behind Minella Hollow when the pair met on soft ground at Roscommon in August and has form on easy ground. Harpy Eagle would prefer good ground.
