Verdict

WODHOOH has met with defeat just once over hurdles and, with Lossiemouth switching at the eleventh hour to the Champion Hurdle, Gordon Elliott's smart and likeable mare gets a confident vote to maintain her unbeaten record this season. Willie Mullins relies on Jade de Grugy in the absence of his star mare and, just like 12 months ago, she could be set to fill the runner-up spot again. Take No Chances, Feet of A Dancer and Jetara can fight it out for minor honours.
