Owner Michael Buckley has not yet had a discussion with Nicky Henderson regarding the next plan of attack for Constitution Hill.

The former champion hurdler met with defeat for the first time on the level in the Group Three September Stakes at Kempton last Saturday, finishing fourth.

While the fact he was unable to finish in the first three ruled out a dream tilt at the Melbourne Cup, the handicapper saw Constitution Hill's performance as a big career-best on the Flat, raising him from a mark of 101 to 108.

Buckley was at Doncaster on Thursday to see the William Haggas-trained God Given Talent finish a creditable fifth in the Weatherbys 300,000 2-Y-O Stakes and said he was in no rush to firm up where his Seven Barrows superstar will line up next.
