Nicky Henderson faces a critical decision over Constitution Hill's future after the horse fell three times in his last four starts. Matt Chapman, speaking on the Unbridled podcast, argues Henderson should release schooling videos to provide 'back-up' if they decide to run the horse in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. Chapman believes public proof of the horse's jumping ability at home would support Henderson's choice.

However, Chapman's call for transparency comes as Constitution Hill is set to switch to the flat at Southwell later this month, potentially for prep work for the Champion Hurdle. Paul Nicholls, Henderson's long-time rival, is skeptical, stating his gut feeling is 'no' for the horse's return at Cheltenham, emphasizing the difficult position Henderson is in. Nicholls stresses Henderson will do what's right for the horse and the sport, but acknowledges the risk of another heavy fall on the biggest stage.

The situation highlights the intense scrutiny faced by trainers and the potential consequences of a major setback.
