Formscan  - The defection of 2024 winner Lossiemouth takes a little bit of gloss away from this year's renewal. However, CONSTITUTION HILL readily had the measure of her when completing a hat-trick of Christmas Hurdle victories at Kempton and Nicky Henderson's superstar is impossible to oppose now he has proven his well-being after a troubled past 12 months. Brentford Hope can fill the forecast slot if a tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination helps him quickly atone for last week's below-par effort at Windsor. Fils D'oudairies is the pick of the remainder.
