I topped up on Constitution Hill when he was pushed out to 3/1 the other day and I'm now looking at the 5/1 and thinking of topping up again, i think i need to give my head a wobble !

You 2 are mad imo of course
Yes the price is attractive, but given everything we know about constitution hill over the last year how could you confidently want to back him? Given any cash out etc would be well and truly gone before news even breaks.
The price surely won’t go anywhere until he is declared for Kempton? Still 5/1 available and 9/2 in 3 or 4 places as well. 4/1 is still decent enough imo if he’s declared for Xmas.

Every chance he'll run a Constitution Hill advent calendar with recycled bullshit updates each day, could be a trading rollercoaster...

Bookmakers are ridiculous, unfortunately!

You won’t be the only one tempted by current prices.
Its a gamble , but that’s the game we are in.

The Cheltenham week bettors who don’t bet antepost won’t know what the f*ck happened for him to have hit 5/1 should he come back to close to his best! Although I’m of the mindset of Opatcho where I don’t think he will, unfortunately.

Aye of course there will be folk similar to yourself, but surely those are on now and not many more (daft enough sorry not meaning to dig you here) will back him until they see him declared?

Nicky has previous with horses that were nearly 'gone'. Binocular and Sprinter Sacre are the two that spring to my mind immediately.
Pretty sure Binocular was matched 1000 on the exchanges too, though I may be wrong about this.
