Newcastle Race 5 - Betmgm Fighting Fifth Hurdle (Grade 1) (Gbb Race)
With Constitution Hill ruled out Nicky Henderson relies on SIR GINO (7) to give him a sixth success in this G1 prize over the last eight years. The unbeaten four-year-old was set to embark upon a fences campaign and can make a winning return to action after landing the G1 Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle at Aintree during April. Irish raider MYSTICAL POWER (6) is the obvious danger as he attempts to land a G1 hat-trick on reappearance following wins in the Top Novices Hurdle at Aintree and Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown. BRENTFORD HOPE (2) finished runner-up in the G2 Elite Hurdle and rates next best. LUMP SUM (5) heads the remainder. Something for the Multiples: TAKE NO CHANCES (9)
