Go Native among 18 entries for December Festival Hurdle Leading Champion Hurdle contenders Solwhit, Go Native and Hurricane Fly all feature among the 18 entries for the Grade 1 Leopardstown Golf December Festival Hurdle on the final day of the Christmas meeting, December 29. Hurricane Fly raced just three times for Mullins last season but landed a Grade 1 on each occasion to propel himself to Champion Hurdle favouritism. However, he was only third to Solwhit on his seasonal bow and Mullins has no firm plans for the French import. "He has been fine since the Punchestown race but I don't know where he will run next," said the champion trainer. Other interesting entries are former Champion Hurdle hero Sublimity, second on his reappearance at Newcastle last Saturday, the Alan Fleming-trained Starluck and Voler La Vedette. The latter has an alternative option the same day in the Listed Mares Hurdle.
