News
Nicky Henderson reported Constitution Hill is "more and more likely" to make his seasonal return in Saturday's rescheduled Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Sandown despite a significant market drift for the Grade 1 on Tuesday. The brilliant six-year-old was one of eight horses entered at Monday's five-day stage, but was pushed out to evens (from 1-3) with Paddy Power and Betfair for the £80,000 contest before quickly being cut back to 30-100.
However, the Seven Barrows trainer explained his seven-time winner is doing well after an overnight stay at Doncaster on Friday due to Newcastle's Fighting Fifth card being cancelled, and he is on course to feature this weekend. Speaking on Tuesday evening, Henderson said: "In all probability he's going to run, but there's nothing to add or subtract from what I said Monday – he's in great form."
Constitution Hill took his first step towards stardom on Saturday's Sandown card two years ago and big-spending owner Olly Harris is dreaming of following the same path to the Supreme Novices' Hurdle in March with Willmount, who could kickstart a glittering day for the Nicky Henderson stable.
Grade 1-winning owner Harris, describes Willmount as potentially the best horse he has had.
The Paddy Power Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham next month has emerged as the next likely slot for Coral Gold Cup winner Datsalrightgino – but trainer Jamie Snowden says there is a possibility he could be supplemented for the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase at Kempton on December 26. "He's gone up 11lb to 159, so you're slightly forced into Graded races on the back of that and the Cotswold Chase is the most obvious option," said Snowden, still floating on cloud nine after the biggest victory of his career at Newbury last weekend.
