    It’s been a good while since I seen a buzz about a horse like there was with Constitution Hill after that Supreme win. I watched it with a few knowledgeable mates who grabbed 9-1, and I just wish that I had followed them in. I don’t have a penny on

    I know a few people who still went in very big at the 7-2 etc, and though maybe not my kind of approach, I do regret not having a bet even then. I’ll just have to enjoy him without having a bet for now.

    I think that he is impossible to oppose on the run that we witnessed at Cheltenham, but for a bit of interest on his run with Epatante last year, I bet Not So Sleepy 20-1 ew

    Whatever happens though I hope that Constitution Hill blows us all away again

    If Constitution Hill wins by less than eight lengths I’ll be sulking.

    If Constitution Hill gets beat….that’s racing?

    No, that’s the end of civilisation as Chezza knows it, it’s on a par with finding my local Waitrose has been replaced by an Iceland!

    Don’t worry Chezza I think he will bridle up there and be given a quick shake of the reigns after or just before the last to win, can’t see Nico riding him out properly and whipping him 5 times. He could only win by 3 or 4 lengths but it would be incredibly impressive nontheless.

    Think I saw skybet doing EVENS for the Hill to win by 4 lengths or more, seems a great price to me.

    I’m always wary of any bet which involved me needing the outcome more than connections.

    I wouldn’t even back him for today’s race – March is their target – let alone by four lengths or more as they’d be perfectly happy to win by a cosy length.

    That said, I hope he wins half the track!

    Very shrewd and well put Ian.

    Exactly what I was thinking HDLG!

    That performance was pure quality. There cannot be any doubters left after that. He has just annihilated a multiple Grade 1 winner, with two other decent horses made to look like selling platers.

    He hurdled very well. Did he still have a bit of a belly on him? Sheesh.

    Agree HDLG. I think Honeysuckle being unbeaten is important to them. They must know that on a line through Epatante she has no chance.

    Honeysuckle will try to defend her crown if she passes her Irish assignments imo. HDB isn’t afraid of one horse. Remember when she beat Benie. Benie was regarded as unbeatable by most (not me).
