Sandown Park rules the roost this afternoon with the Grade One Tolworth Hurdle (2.25) and the final of the Veterans Handicap Chase (3.00) leading the way on one of my favourite afternoons of national hunt racing during the season.

The first named could well be a damp squib with the long odds-on favourite and highly exciting CONSTITUTION HILL at odds of around 2/5 following his demolition job over the course and distance last time out.

That runaway success last month impressed the layers so much that they installed him as the second favourite for the Supreme Novices Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival behind stable mate Jonbon and if he lands this famous event in equally good style there is every chance he could usurp his next door neighbour at the head of that ante-post list.
