Constitution Hill will clash with Cheltenham Festival heroine Lossiemouth in the William Hill Aintree Hurdle on Thursday.

Nicky Henderson's star performer is set to face six rivals on Merseyside and the standout name amongst the opposition is Willie Mullins' triple Festival winner, who impressed once again at Prestbury Park when successfully defending her Mares' Hurdle crown just over three weeks ago.
