Jezki to renew Hurricane rivalry

Trainer Jessica Harrington has confirmed Jezki will tackle the brilliant Hurricane Fly for a second time in the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on January 26.

The four-times Grade One winner emerged with plenty of credit after coming off second best behind Willie Mullins’ incredible gelding, who was collecting an astonishing 18th top-level triumph.

Harrington said: “He’s come out of the race very well, I’m very pleased with him.
