Owner Rich Ricci insists the Mares' Hurdle remains "Plan A" for Lossiemouth at next week's Cheltenham Festival, despite the increasing clamour for her to take on the boys in the Unibet Champion Hurdle.
Winner of the Triumph Hurdle 12 months ago, the Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old was so impressive on her reappearance on Cheltenham's Trials day card in late January that many called for her to take on the mighty Constitution Hill in Tuesday's feature event.
