Constitution Hill is set to compete against Cheltenham Festival winner Lossiemouth in the William Hill Aintree Hurdle this Thursday. The race will see Nicky Henderson’s top performer facing six opponents, with Willie Mullins’ triple Festival champion Lossiemouth being a key contender. The upcoming race marks the second showdown between Constitution Hill and Lossiemouth, with the former emerging victorious in the Christmas Hurdle but facing a new challenge after a fall in the Champion Hurdle.
Gordon Elliott’s decision not to run Brighterdaysahead has led to the inclusion of Wodhooh, an impressive mare with a seven-race winning streak. Other competitors in the Aintree Hurdle include Salver, Tellherthename, Break My Soul, and Take No Chances. Additionally, the EBC Group Manifesto Novices’ Chase features Jango Baie, Impaire Et Passe, Croke Park, and Gidleigh Park among its nine participants.
Thirteen four-year-olds are confirmed for the Boodles Anniversary 4-Y-O Juvenile Hurdle, with notable absences including Henderson’s Lulamba. Meanwhile, Skelton’s Live Conti and Joseph O’Brien’s Puturhandstogether are expected to shine in Grade One events at the Grand National Festival. The Brooklands Golden Miller Chronograph Bowl will witness a competitive field, including Gaelic Warrior, Spillane’s Tower, and Grey Dawning.
