Verdict

This may be the last chance we get to see CONSTITUTION HILL over the smaller obstacles and it's difficult to envisage anything but another impressive winning display from this magnificent performer. Last year's winner Epatante is just preferred to Zanahiyr for the forecast spot.

  1. CONSTITUTION HILL
  2. EPATANTE (FR)
  3. ZANAHIYR (IRE)
