All-star cast assembled for Newcastle’s Fighting Fifth Hurdle Here's the restructured content with H2 headings, meta information, and applicable tags: Intro: The New Lion, Constitution Hill and Anzadam headline a stellar field of 12 entries for the BetMGM Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle on November 29, setting up a potentially thrilling renewal of the Grade One contest. The New Lion Leads Champion Hurdle Contenders The New Lion, Constitution Hill and Anzadam are among 12 high-class entries for the BetMGM Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle on November 29. Dan Skelton's The New Lion currently heads ante-post lists for the Champion Hurdle in March, so impressive was he as a novice last season. Bought by JP McManus after winning the Challow Hurdle in December, he remained unbeaten with a gutsy display in the Turners Novices' Hurdle but has not raced over two miles since April 2024. It is fair to say quite a lot has happened to Constitution Hill since he won the race in 2022. He looked to have the world at his feet back then and his first season out of novice company went swimmingly. He missed the 2023 renewal, which took place at Sandown due to heavy ground having been frozen off at Newcastle, and then missed the rest of the campaign having scoped dirty following an unsatisfactory racecourse gallop at Kempton.
