Constitution Hill has been awarded a mark of 170 in the Anglo-Irish Jumps Classifications — a record high for a novice hurdler since the introduction of the ratings.
The Nicky Henderson-trained gelding earned his figure with his performance in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, where the brilliant mare Honeysuckle won the Champion Hurdle for the second time.
