Lossiemouths may not have their face-off

THERE is only a slim chance that commentators will be faced with the confusion of a Lossiemouth versus Lossiemouth clash in the bet365 Select Hurdle at Sandown on Saturday.

- 

Willie Mullins’ brilliant grey mare Lossiemouth is entered for the Grade Two contest alongside Polly Gundry’s bay gelding of the same name.

Mullins’ (above) quest to retain his British champion jumps trainer title means he is more active than usual be across the Irish Sea and he has three further entries alongside his Lossiemouth.

The same race yielded significant prize-money when Impaire Et Passe won for the stable last season, beating Langer Dan from the yard of title race rival Dan Skelton and helping to swing the final verdict in Mullins’ favour.
