CONSTITUTION HILL looked something special when routing Jonbon in the Supreme on this day last year and has fully confirmed that impression with easy wins in the Fighting Fifth and Christmas Hurdle this winter. State Man is a high-class and progressive hurdler in his own right and looks a clear second best but it's still hard to see him seriously troubling Michael Buckley's outstanding 6-y-o. I Like To Move It looks best of the rest.
