Lossiemouth top of market for Champion Hurdle with sensational Hatton's Grace Hurdle run

RIDING HIGH: Jockey Paul Townend on Lossiemouth after winning the Bar One Racing Hatton's Grace Hurdle.

The Willie Mullins-trained Lossiemouth was simply sensational in the Grade One Hatton’s Grace Hurdle on Sunday afternoon at Fairyhouse, producing a performance which hardened her position at the top of the market for the Champion Hurdle.

The five-year-old grey was taking on Stayers Hurdle champion Teahupoo, who was seeking a hat-trick in this race, but she casually brushed him aside in the manner of a mare whose connections are entitled to believe they have found their second Annie Power.
