Hurricane Fly ruled out of Morgiana Hurdle

HURRICANE FLY could be seen next at Leopardstown over Christmas after Willie Mullins ruled out a run in Sunday’s Ladbrokes.com Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown.

The seven-year-old was a brilliant winner of the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, his first visit to Prestbury Park having missed the previous two Festivals due to injury.

Mullins had identified this weekend’s Grade One prize as the intended seasonal return for his stable star, but revealed yesterday he would not be lining up.
