Legendary jockey Charlie Swan has said that red-hot Champion Hurdle favourite Constitution Hill could even be better than Istabraq and looks “unbeatable” at Cheltenham next month.
Swan partnered Istabraq to win three Champion Hurdles in succession between 1998 and 2000 and now believes the Nicky Henderson-trained six-year-old has the potential to be “one of the greats.”
Constitution Hill was a brilliant winner of last year’s Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at the Festival - smashing the track record with a staggering 22 length victory.
