Formscan By Alan Magee - There are plenty of questions after some high-profile recent falls for those at the head of the market and hopefully all will get around to provide the answers. CONSTITUTION HILL had a perfect record under Rules until falling on his latest two starts, although both came way too early to be definitive about his prospects and he remains the standard bearer in this division. State Man was clear when falling at the last at Cheltenham leaving the way for Golden Ace to record a shock 25/1 win. State Man showed he still has plenty to offer at this level and should make a bold bid to land this prize for a third successive year.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 6lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs Mares allowed 7lbs
