The trio of Hardy Eustace Brave Inca and Sublimity represent a three-pack of Champion Hurdle winners and a very visible reminder of when Ireland’s top hurdlers dominated this sphere of the sport. They are among nine declarations for the Leopardstown Golf Centre December Festival Hurdle and another Grade ne victory for any of them would guarantee a huge reception.
