Solerina came out on top by two and a half lengths over her optimum trip of two and a half miles in the Tara Hurdle, but Hardy Eustace lost nothing in defeat as it was the Champion Hurdle winner’s first race since April.

A rematch in the Bewleys Hotels December Festival Hurdle over two miles, for which there were 10 five-day entries yesterday, would be one to savour.
