Constitution Hill Set for Second Flat Start at Kempton With Ryan Moore Up

The run will help earn a Flat rating to shape his campaign after a dominant Southwell debut.

Overview

  • Constitution Hill, declared for Kempton’s 1m4f novice at 7.30pm on Wednesday, will face seven rivals.
  • Ryan Moore takes the ride in place of Oisin Murphy, who is serving a suspension for a whip rule breach.
  • Bookmakers make the nine-year-old an overwhelming favorite, with prices reported as short as 1-8 with some firms and 1-4 elsewhere.
  • Trainer Nicky Henderson says the outing is to secure a handicap mark and assess next steps, with the Group 3 John Porter at Newbury under consideration and no Royal Ascot plan.
  • The 2023 Champion Hurdle winner switched codes after three falls in four hurdle starts and announced his Flat move by winning at Southwell by nine and a half lengths.
