Hurricane Fly and Jezki are again on a collision course for the BHP Insurances Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown on Sunday.
With the score currently four wins to two in favour of the former, all eyes will be on one of the keenest rivalries in jumps racing.
Hurricane Fly, trained by Willie Mullins, is unbeaten at Leopardstown and will be attempting to surpass the great Istabraq by winning this race a fifth time.
Jezki could only finish fourth 12 months ago, but hit new heights to win the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March.
Mullins has also left in Arctic Fire and Faugheen, though the County Carlow handler is far more likely to give the former another chance to impress after he claimed third place behind Hurricane Fly and Jezki in the Ryanair Hurdle over Christmas.
Plinth and Tiger Roll, both well beaten in the Ryanair, could be back for another go, while Fiscal Focus is also engaged in a seven-strong entry.
