Paddy Brennan made headlines in the entire season of jumps with persistence to take up the constitutional hill in a chance for processing and his date with destiny has arrived.
Cheltenham Festival Hero returned the day when one was in an attempt to regain his crown, taking last year’s state man and a new BrightySahead candy.
In the first of four daily slight Cheltenham shows, Brennan and the company Matt Chapman discussed all seven races in the match at the festival and joined the trainer Toni Mullins and Jockey James Bowen.
“I think Brightighdaisahead will conquer the championship,” Brennan said. “If 7lb was a lot of weight and it could be a difference.
“I think it’s good enough, even close to the level with the hill with the constitution. I think we’ll see something special from her.
“I’m not here to knock a hillside and if he wins, I’ll be the first man who said,” Well done “and the racing needs it, but I think we’ll best see Brighty on her.”
Chapman, meanwhile, has always been a great supporter of the constitutional hill and maintains his belief in the Nick Henderson Star.

“Return the hour to 2019. year,” Chapman said. “Apple’s Jade entered ham for obstacles to won an Irish champion obstacle and was sent out of 7/4 favorites.
“Before the race, Gordon Elliott said, ‘She’s a monster. She’s something else.’ What did she do? It wasn’t a monster at all. We have all this with Brightightaisahead.
“He never threw something like a constitutional hill. He’s a freak.
“He’ll jump faster, it’ll travel better and destroy her.”
