Cheltenham Festival legend Ruby Walsh has become a Constitution Hill convert and believes he can only lose the Unibet Champion Hurdle if he takes the wrong course.
Walsh, the all-time leading jockey at the Festival with 59 wins who has become a Racing TV pundit, admitted he still had reservations about the long odds-on Champion Hurdle favourite after last year’s meeting.
Yet now he is a fully paid up member of his fan club after seeing the Nicky Henderson superstar add to last year’s spectacular Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle triumph during this campaign.
