Klassical Dream’s performance in completing back-to-back wins in the Grade One Ladbrokes Champion Stayers Hurdle was the perfect example of why this is traditionally Willie Mullins’ meeting.
The former Supreme Novices’ Hurdle winner has had his issues, can be a difficult customer and on the back of his three runs this season, there was something to prove. However, as we’ve become accustomed to from the trainer, his charge was on song from the outset and produced as polished a performance as he did here 12 months ago.
