Henderson star to roar back and fight off rivals

CONSTITUTION HILL CAN CLAIM BIG PRIZE AT NEWCASTLE

- By NICK GRANT

WHERE to start with the BetMGM Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle? The only thing that can be said for certain is that this is the race of the year so far, as Constitution Hill, The New Lion and Anzadam meet in a blockbuster clash.

All three camps are making the right noises, but perhaps more with heart than head, the pick is Constitution Hill, the deposed champion.

He has more questions to answer than his market rivals after horror shows at Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown - but equally, unlike the others, he has been and there and most definitely done it.
