It tells you something about the immense talent of Constitution Hill that whether he stays hurdling or goes chasing next season is set to have a serious impact on a host of other top-notch performers.

Chief amongst them is probably Impaire Et Passe, the spectacular Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle winner who was more workmanlike at Punchestown when winning the Alanna Homes Champion Novice Hurdle on Friday.

He would look to have the scope to excel over fences but also has the potential to develop into the standout two-mile hurdler if remaining over the smaller obstacles later this year.

Connections alluded to the fact they would be monitoring Constitution Hill’s movements before making any call on the route of his next campaign.

Supreme Novices’ Hurdle star Marine Nationale, who bypassed Punchestown, is another who could be expected to go wherever Nicky Henderson’s doesn’t in 2023/24. He was viewed as a highly-proficient chaser when previously trained by Sam Curling. J.P. McManus’ Aintree Grade 1 winner Inthepocket is another with chasing and hurdling options in 2023/24.

If the same version of Constitution Hill turns up next season, it’s more than understandable why connections would be eager to avoid him. Watching the cards fall will be fascinating.

The 2022/23 campaign will go down as a most memorable one on these shores for high-profile owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, especially when it comes to their link-up with Willie Mullins

Impaire Et Passe’s clearcut success represented a 22nd winner in Ireland from just 50 runners for the stable. In fact, all bar one of the double green’s horses trained in Closutton managed to visit the winner’s enclosure during the season.

The only one who hadn’t previously won a race for them, Readin Tommy Wrong, obliged in a Ballinrobe bumper on Tuesday.

Blue Lord shone early in the season when landing the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase and Grade 1 Paddy’s Rewards Club Chase, while Impaire Et Passe’s CV also included a Grade 2 SkyBet Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle.

El Fabiolo’s Cheltenham triumph was sandwiched between top-level wins in the Goffs Irish Arkle Novice Chase at Leopardstown and Barberstown Castle Novice Chase at Punchestown.

Throw in a Grade 2 Coolmore Irish EBF Mares Bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival with Fun Fun Fun and a Grade 2 Coral Adonis Juvenile Hurdle win at Kempton with the Joseph O’Brien-trained Nusret, and the leading duo have had plenty to smile about.

Better yet, there seems to be much to look forward to.

Impervious is quickly becoming an extremely likeable mare for Colm Murphy and J.P. McManus.

She was devastatingly impressive in landing the Grade 2 Hanlon Concrete Irish EBF Glencarraig Lady Francis Flood Mares Chase on day four and gave the impression she remains very much on an upward trajectory.

Defending her Mrs Paddy Power Mares’ Chase crown at next year’s Cheltenham Festival would look the safest route to travel next season, as evidenced by the fact she’s already just 6/4 to follow up with the race sponsors, but could connections be tempted to take on the boys instead?

She could be a fascinating player in the Ryanair Chase. This year’s winner Envoi Allen has blown hot and cold this season, and previous champion Allaho never appeared over the past season and will be 10 next spring. It could be a tempting division.

Some feel Impervious would not look out of place in the Boodles Cheltenham Gold Cup, but plenty more improvement will be required from beating a mare like Instit by 11 lengths here.

Regardless, her versatility in terms of distances and types of ground ought to give her team plenty of options for next season. How good it would be to see her give the geldings a run for their money on the biggest of stages.
