Formscan By Tom Weekes - CONSTITUTION RIVER finished third behind Item and Almaqam in last month’s International but might be able to turn form and win. A generally dependable and high-class performer, the selection landed the Eclipse in July from today’s rival A Boy Named Susie, who he has beaten thrice, and while well beaten at York, stumbled and became quite lit up in the early stages. He should do better if settling today. Soft ground was Item’s undoing in the English Derby but having narrowly beaten Almaqam at York, each horse should feature again. Hotazhell showed up well in plenty of Group 1s last year and indeed landed a top-level contest in Germany in July, beating Wimbledon Hawkeye into third.
