Constitution Hill is “unlikely” to run in next Saturday’s BetMGM Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle.
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.
The 2023 Champion Hurdle hero missed his title defence in March following an unsatisfactory racecourse gallop at Kempton, with the gelding found to be suffering a respiratory infection which kept him sidelined while the Cheltenham Festival took place.
Constitution Hill also had a spell in a veterinary hospital due to a suspected bout of colic at the end of March and underwent a wind operation during the summer break, but the vibes were positive heading into the winter, with Henderson long having a trip to Newcastle pencilled in for his stable star’s return.
Connections dismissed concerns about Constitution Hill’s wellbeing following a lacklustre racecourse gallop at Newbury earlier this week, but an issue has emerged subsequently.
