Hurricane best equipped to cope with tactical affair in Champion

I have to say that today is my strongest book of rides for the week and it will be more than disappointing should I walk out of Punchestown tonight without a winner.

Pride of place, obviously, has to go to Hurricane Fly, in the Grade 1 hurdle, who did us proud with that terrific display in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham.

There may be only six runners, but it’s a smart contest, with Willie Mullins providing half of the field.
