Constitution Hill tops the betting market to win the International Hurdle this Saturday
Saturday sees a massive day of Racing action take place at Cheltenham with the 2025 Cheltenham Festival Trials Day seeing big names hit the track in the next preparation for March's big festival.
Constitution Hill is one of many big names set to run on Saturday afternoon in the 3:00 Unibet Hurdle Race and bookmakers are already offering odds on who will win the race.
Sponsors of the International Hurdle Unibet have placed Constitution Hill as the heavy favourite in this one at 1/5 with those odds putting him clear of the rest of the runners.
December saw Constitution Hill win his third consecutive Christmas Hurdle at Kempton and that instantly saw his odds slashed across the field to win the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham this year.
Now Unibet's latest odds suggest an 83.3% chance that he wins the Unibet Hurdle on Saturday in what is further preparation for a big run at Cheltenham in March.
OLBG-Sponsored trainer Harry Derham has Brentford Hope as a runner in this race as the Road to Cheltenham ramps up.
| International Hurdle Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Constitution Hill | 1/5 | 83.3% |
| Lossiemouth | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Brentford Hope | 14/1 | 6.7% |
| Fils d'Oudairies | 25/1 | 3.8% |
| Joyeux Machin | 80/1 | 1.2% |

L'Homme Presse sits at 6/4 in the latest betting odds list with race sponsor Betfair and those odds suggest a 40% chance that he wins.
Following just behind in the Cotswold Chase market is Gentlemansgame with this one looking like a two horse race judging by the betting odds.
| Cotswold Chase Winner | Odds | Probability |

| L'Homme Presse | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Gentlemansgame | 9/4 | 30.8% |
