The 2-15 favourite was never truly troubled in running out an easy three-length winner
CONSTITUTION HILL PUT the seal on a flawless campaign with a dominant performance in the Aintree Hurdle.
The chasing pack had closed the gap by the time the 2-15 favourite turned for home, but de Boinville was still motionless in the saddle and only had push his mount out on the run-in to score by three lengths.Sharjah came from the rear of the field to beat Zanahiyr to the runner-up spot, with last year’s winner Epatante only fourth this time around as her remarkable stable companion again stole the show.
Earlier on the card, Shishkin kicked in the turbo to win the Aintree Bowl, with the King George VI Chase and the Cheltenham Gold Cup coming into focus as possible targets for next season. The latter looked likely to prevail after drawing clear between the final two fences, but as has been the case on a few occasions over the years, Shishkin saved his best for late in the day, thrusting home on the run-in to get up and beat Ahoy Senor by a length and a half.
