Glad are you admitting the hill isn’t a +170 horse now
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
An all weather flat race doesn’t tell us anything about his hurdling ability.
That much should be obvious.
Glad watch for the kids and the lampost reversing that bus , to be fair your right, we all know his hurdling ability … bombscare..

I’ve no idea what to expect, or what to cheer for. Part of me wants to see a return of the majestic Constitution Hill of 2022 and ’23, as he romps imperiously to a 10-length win.
But what would that mean? Would it set him up for a tilt at the Champion Hurdle, or for a campaign on the flat?
As Steeplechasing said a couple of pages back, I just don’t know why the horse is running tonight.
Even the most emphatic win won’t answer the jumping questions that would arise again at Cheltenham. Questions that might have been answered, at least partially, if he’d run in the Kingwell.
If he runs OK and wins but clearly has lost his old sparkle, do they campaign him on the flat anyway?
Part of me wouldn’t mind him getting beat, if only so he retires safe and sound and we can remember his superlative days and wonder for ever what else might have been.
He isn’t the horse of 22/23 , question is does he still want to be a racehorse

“Part of me wouldn’t mind him getting beat, if only so he retires safe and sound and we can remember his superlative days and wonder for ever what else might have been.”
Agree completely with this, Broadsword. I said after his Newcastle fall that he should be retired there and then – he can’t jump any more and he’s too old to be top class on the flat. As you rightly said, even an authoritative success this evening wouldn’t give any indication as to whether or not he can still jump.

It’d definitely be white if Nathan and RTB got close enough.
Packetofbiscuits won the second race. Out there somewhere Chezza is tucking into some chocolate hobnobs and probably not worrying too much about his bet on Constitution Hill never to win another champion hurdle.
