The eyes of the racing world will be on Southwell on Friday night, as Constitution Hill bids to get his career back on track in the highly anticipated SBK Road To Cheltenham Novice Stakes.

A mile and a half Flat race on the all-weather would have been the last place you would have expected Nicky Henderson's superstar to turn up this time last year, at which stage he was 10 from 10 over hurdles, but three falls in his last four races have prompted connections to take a different route.
