Stars realign for Ryanair rematch

Hurricane Fly and Jezki face off for the sixth time at Leopardstown today in a fascinating clash for the Ryanair Hurdle.

The concluding afternoon of the four-day Christmas Festival sees perhaps the most eagerly awaited event, with the score between the main protagonists standing at three to two in Hurricane Fly’s favour.

Most recently the pair contested the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown, with Hurricane Fly rolling back the years to come out on top by two and a quarter lengths from the current Champion Hurdle hero.
