Constitution Hill and Lossiemouth, who finished first and second respectively in the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton, renew rivalry in the Grade One William Hill Aintree Hurdle on the opening day of the Grand National meeting and the former can be expected to confirm the form.
Nicky Henderson’s former Champion Hurdler fell four out in this year’s Champion Hurdle and, as a result, has not yet been fully tested this term. With that concern and the step up to two and a half miles for just the second time in his career — he won this race in 2023 — there will be plenty rushing to take him on at a short price, and that should result in his odds becoming more appealing.
