Nicky Henderson, the trainer of Constitution Hill, has given a positive update about the horse's condition.
The update comes after a disappointing workout that had a big impact on the Unibet Champion Hurdle market and the racing world in general. Constitution Hill, a superstar in the National Hunt world, was at Kempton Park on Tuesday morning.
Here, Henderson was finalising his Cheltenham Festival team. However, the champion trainer was left 'in shock' by what Constitution Hill showed.

On Wednesday, Henderson gave an update on his X (formerly Twitter account). He said: "I am pleased to say that Constitution Hill appears perfectly normal this morning.
"He is bright and well and ate everything last night. His temperature has remained normal both last night and this morning."
He added: "As with all the other horses that galloped at Kempton yesterday, they are having an easy day today. They have had a lead out and all appear to be sound and well and are having a good pick of grass."
Henderson also shared plans for the next few days. He said: "We would plan to ride them all, including Constitution Hill, tomorrow, although he will have quieter exercise for the next 48 hours at least as we still have to bear in mind that he has got a hopefully relatively mild lung infection which has to improve considerably before any serious work could begin again."
