Trainer Willie Mullins says: "I was absolutely delighted with Lossiemouth in Cheltenham, and it looks like she’s coming on-song in her bid for the Champion Hurdle next year.
" All those horses have to stay sound, though. It’s lovely thinking you have two or three for the Champion Hurdle, and maybe Constitution Hill will be coming back, but they’ve all got to get there, and as we’ve seen, they don’t. It’s not a given that you get there.
" When you look at Lossiemouth on the track you think she’s a little grey mare, but when you stand into her you get a fright. It’s always a good sign when you look at a horse and think they’re a normal size, but then when you stand in, they’re much bigger, it just shows how well proportioned they are.
" Earlier in the season, it was part of the plan to run her in France, but I don’t think she’ll go there now. "
