Many of the owners and trainers here this week will be hoping their horses run well enough to consider sending them to Royal Ascot, but one horse that will definitely not be heading to Berkshire next month is Constitution Hill, the 2023 Champion Hurdle winner, who has been scratched from the Gold Cup, the Royal meeting’s feature event, on 19 June.
Constitution Hill famously went unbeaten in his first 10 starts and is seen as one of the finest hurdlers of all time, but his career over jumps has unravelled since mid-March, with two falls, at Cheltenham and Aintree, and then a lacklustre display at Punchestown earlier this month.
