Trainer Nicky Henderson has confirmed his superstar Constitution Hill could be heading for a Group 2 race in Italy in October.The Gran Premio del Jockey Club is a Group 2 contest over 1m4f is the new target, a race that’s worth €506,000.Henderson eyes Italian Group 2 for Constitution Hill’s next raceGettytalkSPORT BET Betting Offer – Get up to £30 in free bets – CLAIM HERE*The nine-year-old was a Champion Hurdler but it soon became apparent flat racing was the only option after consistent falls.Constitution Hill’s potential on the flat really opened up plenty of options for the horse based in Berkshire.‘A far better idea than Australia’Constitution Hill failed to qualify for the notorious Melbourne Cup in Australia, after he lost at Kempton last time out.However, Henderson admitted that the Melbourne Cup dream was ‘wild’.He will now be aimed at Milan’s Gran Premio del Jockey Club at the San Siro racecourse on Sunday October 25.The gelding has never raced outside of Britain and Ireland before, but he’s continued to surprise fans who’ve admired him since cruising home in the Group 1 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at Cheltenham Festival in 2022.After his fourth placed effort in the Group 3 September Stakes at Kempton over 1m4f it was queried that he would potentially step up in trip.However, the Gran Premio del Jockey Club remains the distance trainer Henderson has been honing the superstar hurdler.Two other races looked much more likely after Kempton with the Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot and the St Simon Stakes at Newbury, but a surprising aim abroad is a huge move.Henderson told the Racing Post: “We’re thinking about going to Milan with him. We weren’t going to run him at Ascot this weekend because of the ground, and we think we might get his ground out there for him. “It’s where Michael [Buckley] and I would like to go. We’ve always said we’d like to travel and that he’d take us to places we might never go. I’ve always said it would be fun and it’s a far better idea than Australia.”Constitution Hill next runThe Gran Premio del Jockey Club is a Group 2 contest also over 1m4f that is worth €506,000.The Henderson-trained horse could follow fellow British trainers who’ve won this race – Andrew Balding in 2025 with Eydon and Richard Hannon Jr in 2018 with Raymond Tusk.The race predominantly sees winners aged between three and four, but last year Eydon won at six-years-old and with this race seeing stayers thrive, it makes sense to see the nine-year-old aimed at such a lucrative contest abroad.Runners have until October 5 to be confirmed for the race and the final declarations won’t be made until October 23.However, 2025’s winner Eydon could well be a British rival in Milan and would be top competition in the betting as well.talkSPORT BET Boosted Favourites30 minutes before the start of every UK & IRE race, we are boosting either the favourite or 2nd fav to win!Get the latest price boosts here18+.
