FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Out of a sister to County Hurdle winner Arctic Fire, ARCTIC FLY made a winning start in a Leopardstown bumper in March. That has worked out to be relatively ordinary form and she was unable to cut the mustard in Listed/Grade 3 company afterwards but is still a leading contender now switched to hurdles with her yard continuing to send out winners with relentless regularity. Point-to-point winner Bobbisilver caught the eye of the stewards on hurdling debut and then ran well at a big price when fourth in a fairly competitive maiden at Ballinrobe. Bumper winner Stormalong has a mark of 101 in this sphere and was a creditable sixth to a Mullins-trained winner at Limerick. Summertime Romance won over 1m4f and was rated in the high 70s for Marco Botti while Stay Local has been placed in her last three Flat outings and makes her second start over hurdles.%0A%0A
