A fascinating rematch between STATE MAN and Constitution Hill in prospect. The latter has blotted his otherwise glittering copybook by falling the last twice and State Man, who is bidding to win this race for the third year running, earns the vote. He was also a faller in the Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival (holding a five-length lead at the time of his departure at the final flight) but he is generally a sound jumper and is 5-6 at Punchestown. Stablemate Kargese also merits respect.
