We are not the only ones who think Hurricane Fly is a hero

I've backed Our Conor in the Champion Hurdle, but I am secretly hoping Hurricane Fly gets up there, he is a hero! #CheltFest

Anyone else fancy the hooded Jezki in Champion Hurdle?

Charlie Swan: "Jezki is definitely the best value in the Champion Hurdle. I don't think he'll be far away." Ted Walsh agrees.

Despite Walsh backing Jezki to come close his clear favorite is still Hurricane Fly

Speaking on the Morning Line, Ted Walsh thinks Hurricane Fly will record the hat-trick of Champion Hurdle wins at Cheltenham today.
