Race Tip

This is a penalty kick for the current Champion Hurdle winner LOSSIEMOUTH (7) who roared back to success in decisive fashion at Cheltenham. Had Golden Ace and a few others behind her on that occasion with the first time cheekpieces bringing about significant improvement. Impossible to oppose. Former Champion Hurdle winner GOLDEN ACE (6) has had another fine season but is probably booked for second place at best but warrants respect. The progressive WILFUL (4) has allowed connections to roll the dice and will give his running. WILLIAM MUNNY (5) hasn't been seen since finishing second at Cheltenham in 2025 and worth a market check.
