Hurricane Fly could run in French Champion Hurdle

Hurricane Fly has been nominated by trainer Willie Mullins for the French Champion Hurdle at Auteuil in June.

Mullins has already won the Grande Course de Haies d’Auteuil four times, and earmarked the record-breaking 11-year-old as a likely contender for the race.

Hurricane Fly, an honourable third behind stablemate Faugheen in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham last Tuesday, could also run at Punchestown during the spring.
