Hurricane to take flight again

Hurricane Fly and Solwhit feature among a final field of just four runners in the Dobbins & Madigans at Punchestown Hurdle on Sunday.

Hurricane Fly swept all before him during his novice campaign, rounding off the season with a hugely impressive display at the Punchestown Festival.

Solwhit also enjoyed a lucrative end to the season as he registered Grade One victories at both Aintree and Punchestown.

Champion Hurdle fifth Muirhead lines up for Noel Meade, while De Valira completes the quartet.
