Nicky Henderson, the trainer of the outstanding hurdler Constitution Hill, said on Thursday that his unbeaten stable star has undergone wind surgery in advance of his much-anticipated return to action in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle on 30 November.
In a post on X, Henderson reported that Constitution Hill had been one of the star attractions at a stable open day on Wednesday, adding: “Constitution Hill is in particularly good form. He is still on the burly side following his summer holiday, but his work is starting to build up for his intended reappearance in the Fighting Fifth. He has had a wind operation a few weeks ago, which we feel might help him.”
