Quevega has been installed as the new favourite for the World Hurdle following the news that Big Buck's will miss the rest of the season.
Willie Mullins' star mare has won the Mares hurdle at Cheltenham for the past four seasons.
Paddy Power said this morning: "It's been a bit tricky pricing these markets as Willie Mullins probably won't make a decision about Quevega's target for a while and possibly not until the five-day stages.
"So punters can back her with a run for the David Nicholson, while the rest of the prices in that market are without Quevega."
