CONSTITUTION HILL WILL face a maximum of seven rivals when he bids to regain his crown in the Champion Hurdle on Tuesday.
Willie Mullins is set to saddle last year’s winner State Man, top-class mare Lossiemouth and Winter Fog. Further spice is added by the presence of Gordon Elliott’s Brighterdaysahead, who has beaten State Man in her last two races and had him trailing 31 lengths in her wake when registering a scintillating victory at Leopardstown over Christmas.
The small but select field is completed by Jeremy Scott’s Golden Ace and the James Owen-trained Burdett Road, who finished first and second respectively in last month’s Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton.
