After Newcastle abandoned last weekend’s Fighting Fifth Hurdle meeting because of atrocious weather conditions, Sandown has picked up the pieces to stage the prestigious Grade 1 contest.
Constitution Hill attempts to retain his crown despite the rearranged race coming just 17 days before the Christmas Hurdle, while trainer Nicky Henderson has also declared Shishkin as a prep run ahead the King George VI Chase.
The track at Sandown represents a different test to Newcastle but four of the six runners bidding to land the top prize of £45,016 have previously scored at the course.
You can run the rule over our Fighting Fifth Hurdle odds on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details about this year’s renewal can be found below.
