Constitution Hill Rides Kempton on Wednesday Night with Ryan Moore
Constitution Hill has been entered at Kempton Park for Wednesday evening, March 25. Ryan Moore is booked to ride.
Background and recent form
The nine-year-old is a former Champion Hurdle winner and multiple Grade 1 scorer. He switched to the Flat after three falls in his last four National Hunt starts.
At Southwell last month, Oisin Murphy guided him to a nine-and-a-half-length victory. The win came in the SBK Road To Cheltenham Novice Stakes. Timeform rated that performance 106P.
Ride change and suspension detail
Murphy has an eight-day suspension running from March 24 to 31. The penalty followed a whip offence on Caliban at Southwell.
Ryan Moore appears on the BHA entry list as the replacement rider. Moore has ridden two winners for Nicky Henderson from 13 Flat rides.

Market and key dangers
Paddy Power make Constitution Hill an early 2/7 favourite. Sea Of Kings is listed as the main danger at 3/1.
Classical Allusion won on debut at Southwell last September. Serviceman had two runs in 2024 without success for Owen Burrows.
Future targets and betting notes
Connections had considered the John Porter Stakes at Newbury on April 18 as an option. Henderson also mentioned seeking a handicap mark for the horse.
Paddy Power quotes Constitution Hill at 25/1 for the Sky Bet Ebor at York in August. He is 20/1 for the Lexus Melbourne Cup in November.
Paddy Power spokesman Paul Binfield said the John Porter looks likely after another run. He added the Ebor remains an attractive target if a handicap mark is required.
