Constitution Hill<\/a> stunned punters by falling for the first time in his career in the Champion Hurdle at this year\u2019s Cheltenham Festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The equine freak had looked back to his best after a lengthy absence when comfortably seeing off Lossiemouth in the Christmas Hurdle and breezing to victory in the International Hurdle.<\/p>\n

A final-hurdle blunder nearly proved costly in the latter race and it proved to be a bad omen for the Champion Hurdle as he crashed out in a race that saw State Man tip up at the last when well clear and Brighterdaysahead failed to fire.<\/p>\n

The falls came along like London buses as he crashed out of the Aintree Hurdle when reopposing Lossiemouth a few weeks later.<\/p>\n

\nConstitution Hill next race<\/p>\n

Constitution Hill looks set to round off his campaign by travelling across the Irish Sea to tackle State Man and potentially Lossiemouth and Brighterdaysahead in the Boodles Champion Hurdle <\/strong>at the Punchestown Festival <\/strong>on Friday, 2nd May<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Friday, Nicky Henderson said: \u201cHe worked this morning and everything went great. I couldn\u2019t be happier, it all went very well and I think he looks terrific. I must admit, his work was as good as ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019ll have a school somewhere over the weekend and if that goes well then we\u2019ll be on our way to Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n

James Bowen is set to take the ride in Nico de Boinville\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n
