Constitution Hill

Constitution Hill is top two-mile hurdler, who has been described as one of the most talented of all time in this division.

Born in 2017, the attractive bay gelding with a small white star was bred by Sally Noott. He is by Blue Bresil, out of Queen Of The Stage, who is by King’s Theatre.

Trained by Nicky Henderson and ridden in all of his races under rules by Nico de Boinville, Constitution Hill is owned by Michael Buckley. The gelding has won every race he has contested under rules, with winnings to date in excess of £800,000.

Described by his trainer as a very “straightforward” horse at home, who “eats, sleeps, gets up and does what work you ask him to, and then goes back to bed”, he comes to life at the racecourse.

Having won the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in 2022, he returned in 2023 to triumph in the Champion Hurdle. The chance to defend his title was missed 2024 when he was ruled out of the meeting, but having won the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on his return to racing, all eyes are once again on Cheltenham in March.
