Big season ahead for Jezki Jezki is back at trainer Jessica Harrington's County Kildare base ahead of the new jumps season and a campaign that could lead to the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. The three-times Grade One winner has only met with defeat twice under National Hunt rules, both times at the Cheltenham Festival. He finished eighth behind Champagne Fever in the Bumper two years ago, while he was a fine third behind Willie Mullins' grey in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle in March. That form was turned on its head at Punchestown, though, and the Champion Hurdle is his main aim this coming season. "He's just back and is in great form," said Harrington. "He's only a five-year-old, but the plan is to go down the Champion Hurdle route. "I've not talked to Frank (Berry, owner JP McManus' racing manager) yet about plans."
