Hardy bids for further Grade 1 success at Fairyhouse Dessie Hughes has decided to let Hardy Eustace take his chance in Sunday's Bar-One Racing Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse. The County Kildare trainer has been delighted with the 11-year-old's well-being since his victory over Sizing Europe in the Maplewood Developments Hurdle at Punchestown earlier this month. 'We'll run him on Sunday, and he'll do a bit of work tomorrow morning. He's not done much since Punchestown, but he's come out of the race exceptionally well,' said Hughes. The dual Champion Hurdle hero has yet to contest the 'Hatton's Grace', though the first of his seven Grade One successes did come at Fairyhouse in the Royal Bond Novice Hurdle at this meeting in 2002.
