The British Horseracing Authority has defended its use of the new padded hurdles in light of criticism of them from Nicky Henderson following Constitution Hill's latest fall at Newcastle.
Speaking on Sunday, Henderson said: "Out of all the people ringing up, by far the most common thing they have said is they should get rid of those hurdles and I couldn't agree with them more."
