The Champion Hurdle is many people's favourite race of the entire Festival and it is most certainly the feature race on the day 1 card at Prestbury Park, the betting is likewise with plenty of money wagered on one of the biggest races of the season. The winner of the race in 2010 was Binocular who simply bolted up to win by some margin, he has immediately been installed as the favourite to win back-to-back Champion Hurdles.
All the talk though this season is about the return of Hurricane Fly who has long been touted for big things for Willie Mullins, he missed most of last season through injury but will be back this time around and on past form could be ready for the big time. Another interesting potential runner in the 2011 Champion Hurdle could be Dunguib who had a good season as a Novice last time and looks to have all the talent in the world.
