We had a very good morning today as far as Constitution Hill is concerned, Michael Buckley was with us to see his gallop, and Nico rode him before going onto Wetherby.

All three of us were thrilled with what we saw and he seemed to be telling us that we have the green light for Aintree on Thursday. He has done a huge amount of schooling in the last week, some of it loose with Marcus Foley who has always helped us in the jumping department when it needs action, and Nico was particularly pleased when he jumped 10 hurdles yesterday. As we have said, his work this morning was excellent, and we look forward to Thursday. In the meantime, Lulamba appears to have come out of his Cheltenham heroic effort in really good order, and he too did everything we could have asked for this morning, and he is set for the 2m Juvenile Hurdle on Thursday.

Jango Baie will be working tomorrow, along with Jonbon, ahead of their Aintree objectives, and at the moment we are favoring the 2m 3f Novice Chase on Thursday. Jonbon runs in the Melling Chase on Friday.
