Lossie gamble to pay off for Ricci

JASON HEAVEY'S horse by horse guide to the Unibet Champion Hurdle

- 

A live outsider who has enjoyed a cracking season. He merits his place in the field based on his victory in the Greatwood Hurdle. A strong traveller, he may find a few too good but could run a huge race.

Willie Mullins clearly loves this horse but he has fallen short in three races this season when he has been behind several of today's rivals. He has finished those races weakly and needs to relax. But if Patrick Mullins can find the key to riding him then he is one we have not yet seen the best of.
