Supreme Novices' Hurdle winning trainer Nicky Henderson is aiming to keep a lid on the talk surrounding his Cheltenham star Constitution Hill.

No decision has yet been made on his next appearance but the Seven Barrows master trainer hinted that Punchestown might be on the agenda.

However that would likely mean a battle with Champion Hurdler Honeysuckle and Henderson is not sure Constitution Hill is ready.
The five-year-old is already a record breaker haven been given a mark of 170 which is the highest ever given to a novice hurdler since classifications began in 1999/2000.

The 165-rated Honeysuckle, with her 7lb mares' allowance is ahead but also has had more races.

Henderson, a sportsman to the last, is also a big fan of his rival Henry De Bromhead's Honeysuckle.
"I'm keeping right out of all the talk. I'm reading the headlines with interest every day about what he is and where he's going and I've no idea," said Henderson.
"We must remember he's only had three runs, so I'm not getting involved in any discussions.
"What I will say is that I think Honeysuckle is absolutely spectacular, she's won all those races and I think she's absolutely gorgeous - I'm her biggest fan.
"We've got lots of time to think and lots of thinking to do."

Meanwhile, Jonbon second to stablemate Constitution Hill at Cheltenham is likely to go to Aintree with Henderson saying"I think Jonbon will almost certainly go to Aintree, but Constitution Hill won't go there. If he goes anywhere it will be Punchestown, but that doesn't mean he will take on Honeysuckle," said Henderson.

"I really have no idea what we'll do. Obviously it's flattering when you see his rating.
"Time will tell, luckily Constitution Hill can't read the headlines."
Whoever Constitution Hill faces will have a mountain to climb.
