Following the news this morning that Feathard Lady will miss the Champion Hurdle after being as short as 7-2 favourite VC Bet have cut Hardy Eustace from 3-1 to 5-2 and Brave Inca from 4-1 to 7-2.
VC Bet's Neal Wilkins commented "Although not totally unexpected because of the open handedness of trainer Colm Murphy this is another shattering blow for ante-post punters particularly those who latched onto the "Lady" after her brilliant win in the Christmas Hurdle."
