- Constitution Hill fell as he tried to chase down the first two horses
- Golden Ace took advantage to storm clear and win the Champion Hurdle
Golden Ace has won the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham after race favourite Constitution Hill dramatically fell.
Constitution Hill was in the chasing pack with four hurdles to go but mistimed his jump, while State Man also fell shortly afterwards.
After winning the Ryanair Mares Novices’ Hurdle at last year’s Festival, Golden Ace now has another triumph on the biggest stage.
Burdett Road took second place, with Winter Fog finishing third.
