    Won’t face more than four, maybe five horses and I can see him go off at 1/4 or even less. He was a best-priced 2/7 with the Wathnan horse the 2nd fav. If that one doesn’t go, he’ll be even shorter…. much shorter.

    When I left the UK in 2000 , it was a win or three runs and a horse got a mark , when did that change , or is my memory wonky .
    Used to be Luca Cumani plan , three runs up north then win decent summer handicap , more often than not at Goodwood then the horse turns out Group class .

    The rules on getting a handicap mark and how that is different depending on the type of race and the actual rating allocated get more complex by the year. Here’s the latest version, updated by the BHA quite recently:

    If RTV subscribers want to watch Constitution Hill hack up at something like 1/5, they can apply for a ticket at the discounted price of £10.

    Don’t miss the bargain of a lifetime.

    They should rename this as ‘Eight Equines In Need Of A Handicap Mark Novice Stakes’.

    CH is going to win by a wide margin, because none of the others will want to get within hailing distance at the finish.

    I can’t recall the last time when a Maktoum family or Khalid Abdullah owned horse received that much attention when running in a Novices’ Stakes on the AW.
    As Alan said he’ll run out an easy winner with nobody wanting to ruin a potentially low HC mark.

    If only he’d have gone chasing
    Yes, I know he wouldn’t have made it up the hill but the fanboys would have made him odds on and we’d have 8’s for the day Gaelic Warrior …

    I can’t recall the last time when a Maktoum family or Khalid Abdullah owned horse with such an illustrious record was running in a Novices’ Stakes on the AW.

    “hoping CH scoots home”

    I hope he gets home anyway. No reason why not but the weird handwringing from the trainer earlier in the week “I wish we hadn’t declared him” pretty much straight after declaring him – was off putting. Er, just withdraw him and pay the fine, then. Or run him. Whatever. :unsure:

    Perfect execution too win by just under three lengths. A lot of happy bookies out there tonight as the boosts have all failed to fire.

    Won’t say workmanlike but no where near as impressive as for the first run

    Agree, HDLG. Should be a lot higher than 20/1 for the Melbourne or Ascot Gold Cup.
