Anticipating the Rematch
This Saturday, Cheltenham is gearing up for a possible rematch between notable contenders Constitution Hill and Lossiemouth. Both horses have shown remarkable performances and are among the six entries for the Unibet Hurdle. Their last meeting at Kempton on Boxing Day left fans on the edge of their seats, with Constitution Hill handing out just the second defeat of Lossiemouth’s promising career.
What to Expect This Weekend
Trainer Nicky Henderson seems confident about Constitution Hill’s chances, adding a touch of intrigue as he stated, “Apparently, it will be a rematch!” His thorough approach to training is evident as he shared that Constitution Hill schooled with remarkable finesse. The horse jumped five hurdles on a foggy morning, showcasing his impressive abilities. Henderson is keen to see how this energy translates into the race on Saturday.
The Competition is Fierce
In addition to the main event, the racecard is brimming with intriguing names. Brentford Hope, Fils d’Oudairies, and Joyeux Machin are all potential contenders, raising the stakes in this exhilarating contest. Furthermore, last year’s Betfair Cotswold Chase winner, Capodanno, is likely to defend his Grade Two title against L’Homme Presse. With trainers expressing optimism and competitors sharpening their skills, the upcoming Cheltenham weekend promises to be a thrilling spectacle.
