Verdict

CONSTITUTION HILL put up a truly sensational performance in the Supreme when beating his stablemate Jonbon by 22 lengths in a ridiculously good time, earning himself Timeform's highest ever rating for a novice hurdler, and he's destined for the very top honours in open company. Stablemate Epatante, who gained 3 Grade 1 successes last season, including a dead-heat in this, and was also second in the Champion Hurdle, can follow him home.

  1. CONSTITUTION HILL
  2. EPATANTE (FR)
  3. NOT SO SLEEPY
