Constitution Hill’s rating remains unchanged after his latest success on the Flat at Kempton, beating a more promising rival than he had at Southwell again with ease.
Given it was a steadily-run race, the form can’t be rated too highly, so Nicky Henderson’s star remains on a Timeform rating of 106P. The Timeform large ‘P’ indicates Constitution Hill’s potential for significant improvement after only two starts on the Flat.
