Where does Constitution Hill sit in our all-time two-mile hurdler ratings?

Despite having previously raced just three times over hurdles, Constitution Hill already figured in the list of all-time top-ten two-mile hurdlers before his reappearance on Saturday, but, following another hugely impressive performance, he now sits third in the pecking order with only Istabraq (181) and Faugheen (177) above him.

Rated 172 when trouncing his rivals in last season's Supreme Novices' Hurdle, he improved his RPR to 176 on Saturday and there is surely more to come.

Although last year's dead-heaters Epatante (153) and Not So Sleepy (157) were both keener than ideal, they look to have run fairly close to last year's form.
