Aintree Race 4 - William Hill Aintree Hurdle (Grade 1) (Gbb Race)
CONSTITUTION HILL (1) won this Grade 1 in 2023. Beat LOSSIEMOUTH (5) by 2.5L attempting the 3200m G1 Christmas Hurdle at Kempton before another success at Cheltenham during January. This eight-year-old took a shock fall three weeks ago attempting the 3200m G1 Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival but still rates the superstar he is and can make amends. Rates the one to beat. The latter mentioned mare won on the same day last month at Cheltenham taking the 4000m G1 David Nicholson Mares Hurdle by an easy 7.5L. Main danger. WODHOOH (7) has managed to win her last six starts including the 4000m Martin Pipe Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham last month. Place claims. SALVER (2) rates next best.

Last run fell at Cheltenham in the G1 Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy on March 11 over 3300m. The start before that; favourite; won by 3 len Cheltenham in a G2 International Hurdle on January 25 over 3380m slow going defeating Brentford Hope carrying 74.5kg at $1.10 in a jumps. Incredibly tough to beat if no ill effects from the fall.

Second-up today. Returned from a spell and eased out of it in a hurdle at Kelso. At only start last preparation finished fourth of 7 starters at Newcastle in the G1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle Race on November 30 over 3200m, 14 len behind Sir Gino carrying 74.5kg at $19. Not an obvious chance.
