Nicky Henderson reported that Constitution Hill is currently lame, following a training setback after a gallop at Newbury, and is unlikely to run in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle.
Henderson emphasized that the cause of Constitution Hill's lameness is still unclear despite undergoing tests, describing the situation as a tragic problem for the team.
Constitution Hill's trainer reassured fans that the horse is not retiring, having been bright and breezy post-gallop, but is undergoing investigations for his lameness.
Henderson noted that while Constitution Hill has never had lameness issues before, other minor health concerns included a dirty scope last year and colic in the spring.
