HURRICANE FLY is all set for his defence of the Stan James Champion Hurdle on Tuesday, according to trainer Willie Mullins who described his stable star as a "very special horse".
Odds-on for the opening day highlight of the Cheltenham Festival, Hurricane Fly made a sensational winning return to action in the Irish Champion Hurdle in January and Mullins is pleased with how he has gone since.

HEAVYWEIGHTS Long Run and Kauto Star were among 19 acceptors for the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup at the six-day stage on Saturday.
The possibility of their season-defining rivalry ending in a head-to-head in the Gold Cup became more likely after Kauto Star impressed in a crucial workout at Wincanton, with Paul Nicholls confident on Saturday morning that the two-time Gold Cup winner will bid for a third crown.
Having defeated last year's Gold Cup hero twice already this season, Friday's mouthwatering conclusion now rests on the results of a schooling session at Ditcheat on Monday

Lokking forward to it.
