Hurricane Fly and Jezki set for Champion Hurdle rematch this Sunday at Leopardstown

Drama guaranteed again

It's all eyes on Leopardstown again this coming weekend as less than a month after Hurricane Fly got the better of his great rival Jezki the great rivals are set to clash again. Willie Mullins saw his star mount beat the pretender to his hurdling crown with a devastating finish to the Ryanair Hurdle on December 30th and they're set to cross paths again in the BHP Insurances Irish Champion Hurdle on Sunday. The 'Fly is unbeaten at Leopardstown and a win on Sunday would see him equal the all-conquering Istabraq's record of five wins in the race and secue an incredible 10th win at the course Mullin's also has Arctic Fire in the mix but is unlikely to risk Faugheen up against Ruby Walsh and a horse going for a 22nd Grade One. Plinth and Tiger Roll, also feature in the seven strong field for Aiden O'Brien and Gordon Elliot respectively along with Fiscal Focus for Des McDonogh.
