The feature is the Grade 1 Unibet Morgiana Hurdle of €150,000 at 2.10pm where Lossiemouth is long-odds-on favourite to account for her three rivals. Willie Mullins' grey mare was last seen landing the Grade 1 William Hill Aintree Hurdle in April. Gordon Elliott runs Ndaawi who is rated 5lb inferior to Lossiemouth on a mark of 154, but has to give her 7lb under the conditions of the race. He said: “He looks up against it, but he can get some prize money. “We have nowhere else to go and are kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. “He’s fit and he’ll take his chance.”
