Cousin Vinny & Hurricane Fly to clash at Leopardstown

Willie Mullins has confirmed Hurricane Fly and Cousin Vinny remain on course for a clash in Sunday's Deloitte Novices' Hurdle at Leopardstown.

The pair are both leading fancies for the Cheltenham Festival and the trainer is to give them their final prep-race at the weekend.

"Both horses are in good form. They didn't work on Tuesday because they had done plenty to be ready for the race when it was scheduled for last week," the trainer told At The Races.

"Both horses are fit and well and at the moment the plan is to run both at Leopardstown."
