Fly & Sol set for another clash Hurricane Fly and Solwhit could be set for round four of their intriguing rivalry in the Leopardstown Golf Centre Festival Hurdle next Wednesday. Willie Mullins' Hurricane Fly took the score to 2-1 in his favour with victory in the Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse last week. Mullins, who has also entered County Hurdle winner Thousand Stars, told Attheraces: "I'm looking at Leopardstown for Hurricane Fly's next run, and then take it from there." "I'll get two runs into him before Cheltenham at least. He's got plenty of speed and his pedigree suggests he's got lots of stamina. He needs plenty of that to win a Champion Hurdle. A lot of two-and-a-half-mile horses win that race." Colm Murphy's Voler La Vedette, third last week, could tackle the pair again. One surprise entry is Nicky Henderson's Binocular, the current champion hurdler, but he's expected to run at Kempton over the festive period in the Christmas Hurdle. Sublimity, without a win since taking this race in 2008 when he became trainer Robbie Hennessy's first winner, is another possible. Donnas Palm, Luska Lad and Won In The Dark complete the small but select field of nine possibles.
