Ruby Walsh says Honeysuckle will beat Constitution Hill at Cheltenham and that his Supreme ‘fell apart’

RUBY WALSH is sweet on the chances of Honeysuckle retaining her Champion Hurdle title.

The brilliant mare is unbeaten in 16 career starts – but last season’s Supreme Novices’ Hurdle winner Constitution Hill is ahead of her in the Champion Hurdle betting.

That has come as a surprise to many, including legendary jockey turned pundit Walsh.

Nicky Henderson’s Constitution Hill is the current 5-4 favourite with Paddy Power for the big race at the Cheltenham Festival, with Honeysuckle next best at 7-2.

The former beat the likes of Jonbon and Dysart Dynamo by 22 lengths in the Supreme back in March – in a time five seconds quicker than Honeysuckle’s second Champion Hurdle victory.
