Constitution Hill at his best would likely be a heavy odds on shot here, even facing an on-form Lossiemouth but he has yet to convince he is in that same form and his quick but usually reliable jumping is becoming a concern. He overjumped the last in his Champion Hurdle win, made a mess of the last on his penutlimate start and just didn't lift a leg when spilling latest. This trip could also be Constitutions max, given his least impressive (pre-layoff) run was over this C&D, Lossiemouth was not beaten out of sight in the Christmas Hurdle behind the favourite and she should be more comfortable over this longer trip, her earlier form against State Man got something of a boost given he bounced back to form last month before falling himself.

Jango Baie probably deserves more credit for his Arkle win than he is getting but I think he was seen to best effect over a stiff 2m and although he sets a standard, it's not the highest. Impaire Et Passe was a better hurdler than the Arkle winner and connections can be vindicated in skipping Cheltenham. The selection looked a class act over fences on his first two occasions and he will likely prove better than his 10l defeat to Ballyburn (& Croke Park) latest when he jumped poorly,
