“There are full fields and competitive racing in the Ultima Handicap Chase, Hallgarten And Novum Wines Juvenile Handicap Hurdle and the Princess Royal National Hunt Chase.“Yesterday there was 3.5mm of rain late afternoon into early evening and the going for today remains Good to Soft.”It's a sunny morning in the Cotswolds following some showers of rain yesterday evening and although temperatures are set to be on the chilly side here this week, there is red-hot action on the course.
Constitution Hill is aiming to win the two-mile contest for a second time following his success in 2023, which came 12 months after he bolted up in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle. Aiming to take that away from him is the Gordon Elliott-trained Brighterdaysahead, who was awesome when winning at Leopardstown by 30 lengths over Christmas.
