JP McManus' Joyeuse has been added to the field for the Close Brothers Mares’ Hurdle on the opening day of the Cheltenham Festival .
Frank Berry, racing manager to McManus, said: “That’s the plan, she’s been supplemented and she’ll go there. Even if Lossiemouth does take on the boys, Mullins will still be well represented in his bid for an 11th Mares’ Hurdle success, with the Kenny Alexander-owned trio of Gala Marceau, Jade De Grugy and Kargese all standing their ground.Seventeen horses are in the mix for the Michael O’Sullivan Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, including the red-hot Mullins-trained favourite Kopek Des Bordes.
