The cause of Constitution Hill’s lameness has been identified but his participation in the Christmas Hurdle on Boxing Day is now under threat.
Nicky Henderson explained on Friday that his star hurdler was lame and unlikely to take up his engagement in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle next Saturday, but at the time the reason was unknown.
Extensive tests have got to the root of the issue and found a pocket of bruising that is pressing on a nerve near his pastern, meaning the horse is free from skeletal or soft tissue injury and should bounced back to full health.
The time frame is the final question mark and will determine whether or not he takes up his entry in the Christmas Hurdle, which he has won for the last two years, or not.
Henderson also issued an update on the plans for Sir Gino.
