Overview
- Constitution Hill, which won Wednesday’s Kempton novice by two lengths under Ryan Moore, is two-for-two on the Flat with the jockey saying 12 furlongs feels the right trip.
- Trainer Nicky Henderson identified Newbury’s Group 3 John Porter on April 18 as the likely next start over 1m4f.
- Henderson shut down talk of the Melbourne Cup and Royal Ascot, pointing to the horse’s dislike of very fast summer ground and doubts about the extreme distances.
- Bookmakers boosted prices before Kempton and then cut futures after the win, with quotes including 8-1 for a 2026 Group 1 and early Ebor favouritism in some markets.
- Public interest spiked with a 1,477 crowd at Kempton, and fans will get another look at the horse at the Lambourn Open Day on April 3.
