Hurricane's no fly by night

Hurricane Fly is now William Hill’s outright Champion Hurdle favourite following his comprehensive defeat of old nemesis Solwhit in the paddypower.com iPhone App Festival Hurdle at Leopardstown.

Shark Hanlon’s Luska Lad set a generous pace up front, but Paul Townend was keen not to let him get too far away on the 8-11 favourite as Solwhit tracked him into the straight.
