Trainer Nicky Henderson reports his star hurdler is “currently lame” with an as-yet undiagnosed issue and a trip to Gosforth Park now appears to be off the agenda.
Connections dismissed concerns about Constitution Hill’s wellbeing following a lacklustre racecourse gallop at Newbury earlier this week, but an issue has emerged subsequently. “I have to confirm to everybody that this is not a retirement call, he is not . He was bright and breezy after his gallop but we have this issue.”
“It might be simple, and I hope it is and we can mend it, repair it and get him right. If he’s sound tonight, he will go to Newcastle, but I am having to warn that I think it’s unlikely. “Too many people are trying to write him off and retire him. It’s been like an obituary but he’s only lame. First of all, you hope it’s nothing, but we don’t know, as there’s nothing to see – no heat anywhere, but they can’t talk.
