Verdict

The outstanding CONSTITUTION HILL dispelled an absence and cemented the fact he's still very much the one to beat in this division when becoming the first 3-time winner of the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day. It's hard to envisage Nicky Henderson's 8-y-o having any trouble landing this before he bids to regain his Champion Hurdle crown in March. Brentford Hope could well be the one for the forecast spot.
