Race Tip

CONSTITUTION HILL (2) made another shock exit a month ago falling two out in the 2m4f G1 Aintree Hurdle. Holds class to bounce back being an eight-time G1 winner. The one to beat. STATE MAN (3) bids for a hat-trick in this event. Looked impressive at the Dublin Racing Festival taking the G1 Irish Champion Hurdle before falling at the last at the Cheltenham Festival. Main danger. GOLDEN ACE (5) picked up the pieces to win the 2m G1 Champion Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Holds claims. The G1 course winning KARGESE (6) found success attempting a 2m1f premier handicap hurdle at Cheltenham during March. Not discounted.
