Jezki poised to turn the tables on Hurricane Fly

Jezki is fancied to turn over Hurricane Fly in the BHP Insurances Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown tomorrow.

This, of course, is undoubtedly Hurricane Fly’s favourite track and he is nine from nine here. But there is little or nothing between him and Jezki and it will be no great surprise should Jessica Harrington’s charge end his proud record.

Hurricane Fly showed typical fighting qualities to beat Jezki by half a length at Leopardstown at Christmas and, you’d imagine, the majority of pundits will expect those placings to be confirmed.
