Benie Des Dieux antepost favourite for Hatton's Grace Benie Des Dieux heads the betting for Sunday's Hatton's Grace Hurdle at Fairyhouse with nine horses entered for the 2m4f Grade 1 feature. Both Coral and Paddy Power make the Willie Mullins trained mare the 13-8 favourite with her fellow mares, Honeysuckle and Apple's Jade, next in the betting, ahead of the Mullins trained pair Bacardys and Penhill. Coral's David Stevens reported “rarely has the betting for an open Grade One contest been dominated so heavily by the girls, with the odds heavily in favour of the Hatton's Grace being won by one of the top class mares at the head of the market.” Coral's betting for the Hatton’s Grace Hurdle: 13-8 Benie Des Dieux, 3 Honeysuckle, 4 Apple’s Jade, 5 Bacardys, 6 Penhill, 16 Surin, 20 Davids Charm, Killultagh Vic, 33 Coko Beach Paddy Power: 13-8 Benie Des Dieux, 11/4 Honeysuckle, 4 Apple’s Jade, 9/2 Bacardys, 6 Penhill, 16 Surin, 25 Davids Charm, 33 Killultagh Vic, Coko Beach.
