Day 1 of the Cheltenham Festival and here are the thoughts of our Racing Factors tipster.
Cheltenham
J: N De Boinville
T: N J Henderson
Constitution Hill won the supreme novices hurdles by 22 lengths in 2022 and then came back to win this race in 2023 by 9 lengths from State Man and on both occasions looking like an absolute super star. Illness forced him to miss last season race but he looked to have come back as good as ever this year, winning the at Kempton over Christmas and then more recently here at Cheltenham in January. He is gone with plenty of zest in both races and his excellent trainer would have sure to have had him primed with this day in mind all season. Constitution Hill can make it Champion Hurdle number two and etch his name into thoroughbred history greatness. Constitution Hill rates a 5 star win Pick.
