    Very fair indeed. Hopefully he’ll dodge Punchestown and the price will hold for a good while.

    …..Aintree weather watch Sunday;

    Been a mainly bright and breezy day, although it clouded for a few hours this afternoon. Most importantly, no rain as yet and it’s a pleasant early evening with blue skies.

    Yes it seems a strange time to lose his novice status for next season tho, imo this could be a grade one animal, i know gavin was talking about supplementing him for the albert and im sure he thoyght he'd win too, Gavin must have a pot planned at the end of a rainbow for this fella but i wasnt expecting chasing until next season.

    His age maybe?

    He's already 7

    Constitution Hill has suffered a setback in his health, with trainer Nicky Henderson describing a “few traumatic days” due to suspected colic.


    Constitution Hill has suspected colic. Hopefully pulls through. Turned out to be a nightmare season for him. Lots of issues this year.

    Usually begin a week out from Day 1 of the meeting.

    So this Thursday coming, maybe the time the daily updates start

    Though Cheltenham got moody about it taking 90 minutes to walk the course each day with the Going Stick and give Daily Updates on that.

    So they only did the Going Stick every 2 or 3 days, which wasn't a great help to anyone checking Daily.

    ….Aintree weather watch Sunday;

    after a lovely Spring day yesterday, we’ve had a dry night and woken up an hour early to a bright sunny morning.
