Mr Fox says

Constitution Hill (SR:119, 10/3) brings the most compelling case despite the class rise (↑2). The market has taken serious note — shortened 23% from opening — and Nicky Henderson (24% strike rate, 150 runners) is the form trainer in the field. The 11 form (two consecutive wins, rightmost = last) is the strongest recent sequence of any runner, and Course:W1P1 at Kempton confirms he handles this track. Billy Loughnane (19%, 1841 runners) is a high-volume, high-strike-rate booking that signals connections' intent. At 10/3, the market is essentially pricing him as a general contender — our analysis sees him as more than that given trainer confidence, course form, and peak form string. Each-way alternative: Pride Of Arras. Main danger: Gethin — Gethin is the market's choice (evn, Mkt:in29% — the sharpest market move in the field) with Course:W1P1 at Kempton, and even if SR:109 looks workmanlike, the late money is emphatic and connections clearly believe the track and conditions suit.
