Lossiemouth’s dominated this in recent years…
Where are you going, Lossie? The Champion or the Mares’ Hurdle?
That’s the big question horse racing fans are asking ahead of the Cheltenham Festival as the Queen of the Jumps gears up for another raid on the March mega meet.
Lossiemouth has cruised to the last two editions of the Mares’ Hurdle and could attempt to retain her crown, although stablemate State Man’s injury means she might step up to the championship race.
The Mares’ Hurdle is slightly longer in trip at 2m4½f and a change to the Cheltenham Festival schedule means the contest has moved from Tuesday to beef up Thursday’s card.
