Constitution Hill Falters at Punchestown: State Man Clinches Third Consecutive Champion Hurdle
Constitution Hill’s performance at the 2025 Punchestown Festival raised more questions than answers, as the formerly hugely impressive Supreme Novices and Champion Hurdle winner slumped to a disappointing second from last place finish in the Grade 1 Boodles Champion Hurdle.

It was sad to hear that Delta Work, the winner of 12 of his 40 races and a fan favourite, succumbed to it on February 20th. Game, genuine and brave, Delta Work always seemed to try his very best. In addition to his 12 rules wins, he placed in the first three in 12 more of his races.
