Quevega heads Nicholson entries

Published at Mar 10, 2010, 13:33

Last year's winner Quevega heads 21 entries for Tuesday's David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle at the confirmation stage.

Willie Mullins' charge was one of the most impressive winners of last year's Cheltenham Festival in the Grade Two contest, but has been off the track with injury since May last year.

The champion trainer has also left in J'y Vole, while Colm Murphy's Voler La Vedette, the Paul Nolan-trained Shuil Aris and Jessica Harrington's Zarinava are other leading Irish contenders.

Queen Poline, Sway and Easter Legend are three of the more likely hopes for the home team.
