Forecasts

Constitution Hill (2/9), You Wear It Well (5/4), Love Envoi (6/4), Goshen (7/1), Not So Sleepy (9/1), Shishkin (16/1)

The magnificent CONSTITUTION HILL should have no problem landing this race for the second year running to take his record over hurdles to 8-8. Mares' Hurdle runner-up Love Envoi goes well fresh and is the obvious pick for the forecast, though the selection's stablemate Shishkin adds a layer of intrigue should he consent to jump off, with the headgear experiment quickly shelved.
