CONSTITUTION RIVER sets the bar high on his very promising debut second at Newmarket's July meeting and will be hard to beat. What threat there is may come from newcomers, with Masaban, whose stable has an outstanding record in this race down the years, and Joseph O'Brien's Spangled Sands the pair who appeal most on paper.
