    Yesterday 'Blogger' put up a video on Constitution Hill 'flying up the gallops' at Seven Barrows, and in the background Nicky says he'll go for two canters (assume he meant gallops), all of the others have one.

    He either takes a fair bit of work to get right, or Nicky thinks he's maybe a little bit fresh, but if he's happy to send him out twice he can't be in bad health.
    Would be nice to know if they started alongside each other also

    • Probably best to wait for quotes from connections, and see if he’s entered for Newcastle.

          I'd recommend watching the video. Visually, he looks to be working harder than he did when winning the Supreme. Not quite off the bridle, but not going smoothly. Sir Gino is barely out of second gear. To me, Sir Gino is either a 190 horse, or Con Hill isn't fit.

              Sorry - presumed you'd seen them. They're all over Twitter. Here's one: https://x.com/ASymondsJourno/status/1858807225327698045

                Thanks EE
                Not a twitter person myself.
                Have watched that, can’t really take much from that without knowing what stage of fitness both horses are at.
                Cheers anyway though, appreciated.

                    Yeah - the thing is, we know he's meant to be running in 10 days time. Before Sir Gino. He shouldn't be that unfit.

                    • Nico lying through his teeth on SSR. I'm sorry, that reporting is completely at odds with what I saw and also what the exchanges are saying.

                      • Few rumours of retirement on Twitter

                          What did he say?

                          • Sir Gino still 16s on unibet if anyone thinks he’s turning up.

                              I’ve no idea how much he believes what he said
                              But I do know that I don’t know what stage of fitness he needs to be at today, and how much needs to be left to work on before Newcastle.
                              I imagine he will need the first run though, and it will be a gradual build up to March.
                              Just wait and see for me I think.
                              Certainly ain’t reacting betting wise to that, that’s for sure!!
