Verdict

LOSSIEMOUTH quickly left behind a rare below-par effort when landing the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in good style and she can add another Grade 1 success to her remarkable CV. The main danger could be William Munny, who has a lengthy absence to overcome but had developed into a very smart novice, ahead of Golden Ace.
