Formscan - This has all the makings of another procession for CONSTITUTION HILL, following an imperious display on his return in the Fighting Fifth. Nicky Henderson's superstar has been in a different league to his rivals ever since he burst on the scene last December and he can take this en route to the Champion Hurdle. It is difficult to see how his stablemate Epatante can make up 12 lengths from that Newcastle contest, though she has won this contest in two of the last three years, so deserves respect. Veteran Sceau Royal is another to keep an eye on.
