Constitution Hill and Coral Gold Cup reflections as Newcastle overshadows Newbury

Constitution Hill won the Betfair Fighting Fifth at Newbury. He was trained by Nicky Henderson. The Champion Hurdle market settled down at 8/11 for the winner. Constitution Hill has an amazing engine, a turn of foot and a zest for racing. He recorded a 12-length success over a former Champion hurdler without coming off the bridle. Newcastle has seen some racing greats grace this race in its 53-year history. It included Comedy Of Errors, Night Nurse, Birds Nest and Sea Pigeon. There was no vintage winner of the Fighting Five.
