Try Again provides Christmas cheer for Flynn Try Again provided Longford trainer Paul Flynn with a winner on day one of the Leopardstown Christmas meeting as Try Again took the Sky Sports Racing Novice Handicap Hurdle in fine style. The 8/1 chance made good headway approaching the straight to lead after two out, and was driven clear on the run-in by Jack Kennedy to score by three lengths. Share The Honour could make no impression in second from the last, while top-weight The Holy One was a further five and a half lengths back in third. Flynn said, “He ran well in Cheltenham the last time. We didn’t have a great time travelling and went to the boat twice and we weren’t allowed on it. It upset him and he didn’t eat when he was over there. He ran a great race considering everything. “He’s still a novice so he could even tip over to England or could come back here for the big handicap hurdle. He’ll probably get enough weight after that! “He’s starting to jump well but didn’t jump well when he started off.”
