News
Nicky Henderson has revealed his star hurdler Constitution Hill has been in veterinary hospital since Wednesday night in order to monitor suspected colic. The six-time champion trainer said the seven-time Grade 1 winner was "not completely out of the woods" but expressed hope he would be able to return to Seven Barrows in the coming days. It means Constitution Hill, the highest-rated hurdler in training, is now an extremely unlikely runner at Punchestown.
Iroko will step up to three miles at Aintree with confidence back in the Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero-trained stable star after a promising return from injury at the Cheltenham Festival. JP McManus's six-year-old finished a well-beaten fifth in the Turners' Novices Chase a fortnight ago, but his connections were happy enough with his effort off a 128-day break. He had been ruled out for the season with a foot injury shortly after making an impressive chase debut at Warwick in November, but it healed quickly enough for him to feature at the spring festivals.
