Jezki will get his chance to lock horns again with Hurricane Fly at Leopardstown after the pair filled the first two placings in the Ryanair Hurdle at last month's Christmas meeting.

The pair are scheduled to meet in the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle back at Leopardstown on Sunday week, and Jessica Harrington reports Jezki in good form.

"At the moment, the Stan James Champion Hurdle is very much the aim for Jezki," said Mrs Harrington.

"He runs a week on Sunday in the Irish Champion Hurdle. He went to Cheltenham last year and was beaten by two very good horses (in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle).

"His jumping was probably a little bit sloppy on the day, but he gets two and a half miles and I see no reason why he won't run very well in the Champion Hurdle."
