Constitution Hill looks likely to face a serious examination of his big-race ambitions on the Flat when he goes for the William Hill September Stakes at Kempton Park on Saturday, with a new jockey set to be in the saddle.
Nicky Henderson’s former superstar hurdler is two from two since switching to the level, but the Group Three contest at the Sunbury track represents a major step up.
The nine-year-old has been ridden by Oisin Murphy and Ryan Moore so far in his new adventure, but Billy Loughnane’s name is alongside the Seven Barrows runner for the weekend on the British Horseracing Authority administration site.
Leading the opposition is George Scott’s runaway Coronation Cup winner Bay City Roller as he prepares for the Arc, while Saeed bin Suroor has entered the Group One-winning Tornado Alert and the evergreen Dubai Future.
Last year’s Great Voltigeur winner Pride Of Arras represents Ralph Beckett, with the Owen Burrows-trained Gethin and Joseph O’Brien’s Small Fry other smart performers among the 14 possibles for the mile-and-a-half feature.
