Hurricane in flying form

HURRICANE FLY came through a racecourse gallop at Leopardstown yesterday, partnered by Emmet Mullins, with flying colours and is right on schedule for Cheltenham.

Brilliant winner of the Champion Hurdle last March, the eight-year-old has yet to make his debut this season and been the medium of much speculation over a number of weeks.

“Everything went very well,” said trainer Willie Mullins.
