Hurricane Fly produced a stunning performance to win the 2012 Irish Champion Hurdle and he is now 10/11 to win the Champion Hurdle at the 2012 Cheltenham Festival.

The betting had indicated that the 2012 Irish Champion Hurdle would be close with hot favourite Hurricane Fly strongly opposed on Sunday morning at Leopardstown. Willie Mullins horse, who had won the race in 2011, drifted from 4/9 to 5/6 as money came in for Thousand Stars and Unaccompanied.

The latter ran very well at Leopardstown but Hurricane Fly, ridden by Ruby Walsh, came from behind to win in stunning style and that has resulted in the horse being cut for this year's Cheltenham Champion Hurdle.

Bet Victor have moved quickly to slash Hurricane Fly from 13/8 to 10/11 for that race and it now appears as though Mullins' charge needs only to turn up at Cheltenham to retain his crown.

Champion Hurdle 2012 Odds

Hurricane Fly - 10/11
Grandouet - 11/2
Zarkander - 7/1
Binocular - 8/1
12/1 bar
