But the difference is State Man is out injured. Constitution Hill is, on the face of it, fit and well and able to run. He just can’t jump.
What is there in the Champion Hurdle now? Elliot’s horse has no Cheltenham form. Shelton’s horse looks slow and would have been laughed at by the Hill in his prime. Anzadam showed what he is worth today.
It looks to me like the so called lucky Golden Ace has a tremendous chance of becoming a two-time winner.
