Distance: 2m 87y (Old) |
| Prize: £75,964 Age: 4yo+ Race Type: Hurdle | Going: Good |
With the Covid pandemic having been shifted from the headlines by a shockingly brutal war, an event recognised in the title of the NH Chase, something like normality returned to the Cheltenham Festival, though there was nothing normal about the performance of Constitution Hill, who produced a stunning effort that looks as good at this stage as any by a novice hurdler in Timeform's experience, his initial rating ahead of those given to both the ill-fated Golden Cygnet in this race in 1978 and Alderbrook in winning the 1995 Champion Hurdle as a novice, that view of the form backed up by both the time and the closing sectional, this race quicker at all stages than the much more steadily-run Champion Hurdle, this strongly run, with 2 high-quality novices giving the winner a lead, nothing else in the second successive single-figure field for this race ever involved, the winner's turn of foot off the final bend electric, his performance that of a future Champion Hurdle winner for sure; with a record first-day crowd after last season's ghostly staging behind closed doors, the Cheltenham roar returned, and so too did false starts, 3 on the afternoon, though the one here having less impact than the later ones, the riders here and in the Ultima found not to be in breach of the guidelines, though, due to Covid restrictions still in place in the weighing room, there wasn't a socially-distanced naughty step big enough for the riders who were involved in the Fred Winter false start and the matter was referred to the BHA headquarters.
