His boss will have been hoping to ease him back into competitive action - but Willie Mullins has other ideas. His awesome Lossiemouth - currently favourite for the Champion Hurdle - will make the trip over from Ireland. The amazing mare and former Triumph Hurdle winner, owned by Rich Ricci, made Teahupoo look like a handicapper in her recent Hatton's Grace win.
And she will receive a 7lbs mares allowance from Constitution Hill in the powderkeg Grade 1. Mullins is usually keen to separate the top horses and let them decide battles at Cheltenham Festival. But by declaring Lossiemouth he has turned this Boxing Day bust-up into one for the ages.
