Constitution Hill bids to build on his stunning Flat debut as he takes the next step in his unlikely career switch under Ryan Moore at Kempton Park Racecourse tonight.
All eyes turn to Kempton Park Racecourse on Wednesday night as Constitution Hill continues one of the most intriguing reinventions in modern racing.
Once untouchable over hurdles, the 2023 Champion Hurdle winner saw his aura shattered by a sequence of high-profile falls and underwhelming efforts, leaving his future hanging in the balance. Rather than persist over obstacles, connections made the bold call to switch codes, and the early signs suggest it could be a great decision.
His Flat debut at Southwell Racecourse last month was nothing short of emphatic, as he powered clear to win by nine and a half lengths, instantly reigniting excitement around a horse many feared had lost his way. That performance has paved the way for a crucial second outing tonight, where he steps up to 1m4f in novice company under the guidance of Ryan Moore, replacing the suspended Oisin Murphy.
Despite the low-key nature of the race itself, the occasion is anything but. Constitution Hill arrives as a short-priced favourite, with bookmakers expecting another dominant display. But more important than the result is what it tells connections: whether this former superstar can truly carve out a second career at the highest level on the Flat.

Constitution Hill goes into tonight’s Virgin Bet Novice Stakes at Kempton Park Racecourse as a massive 1/4 favourite (best price PricedUP), with bookmakers expecting little more than a routine victory after his Southwell demolition.
The main danger on paper is Classical Allusion, a four-year-old who also boasts a 12-length Southwell success and is priced at 6/1, though he’s unlikely to match Constitution Hill’s class.
Further back in the betting, Serviceman (12/1) and Roadlesstravelled (16/1) bring limited experience but could prove interesting for place backers if the favourite falters.
