Hurricane Fly set to break new ground at Punchestown

Hurricane Fly is set to tackle three miles for the first time in the Ladbrokes World Series Hurdle at Punchestown next week.

Connections are keen to step his record-breaking Grade One winner up in trip and trainer Willie Mullins admitted he has had the French Champion Hurdle at Auteuil in mind for him for some time, but has decided against it so far.
